A new dataviz of changing patterns of @OldBaileyOnline trials. Each horizontal bar represents one sessions between 1716 and 1913 with 1 tile per trial, coloured by offence category. I rather like this, complements heatmaps here https://t.co/Xrw9q9OeGi

My ancestors have not gone down in history for any great achievements, my paternal family descends from small farmers and agricultural labourers in Norfolk. So I don’t know whether to feel shame or pride on this item in Norfolk News 27.10.1889 found on @BNArchive !

Triple murder in Glamorgan, Jan 1757. Fascinating to compare the perp's confession to the survivor's statement - a sobering insight into a horrific crime.
