Mrs Crocombe has a visitor today: Sylvanus Barker, one of the gamekeepers on the Audley End estate. He has come to discuss game birds for Mrs Crocombe's menu, but the conversation will soon turn to darker events. There has been a shooting on the estate. A tragic hunting accident? Or something more sinister? This true story from Audley End House in 1880 draws from contemporary newspaper accounts and the official inquest report.
