Episode 36 - Three Houses of Death

Burnham Market, 1835. The folk of this North Norfolk village were shocked by a series of mysterious deaths as one by one, the residents of a row of a trio of cottages began to sicken and perish. Was it cholera, or something more sinister? Spoiler: it wasn’t cholera. But in that case, what had brought these people to their untimely ends? And was there any connection between these deaths and a murder trial that had taken place in nearby Wighton three years earlier?
