In 1826, fifteen-year-old Ellen Turner left her boarding school believing her mother was ill and her father was in danger. But the carriage waiting outside wasn’t sent by her parents—it was sent by a man she had never met. Within hours, Ellen was across the border, standing before a blacksmith in Scotland, being forced to marry a stranger twice her age.
What followed would become one of the most scandalous abductions in British history—a story of lies, greed, and manipulation that exposed the terrifying vulnerability of women in a world where wealth made them powerful, but never safe.
This is the story of The Shrigley Abduction.
