 BUG89.jpg Gravestone of Ann Sewell. murdered 1860. (taken 28.3.2011)  BUG90.jpg Gravestone of Ann Sewell:- "Sacred / To the memory of / Ann Sewell / Whose life was terminated / By the hand of an assassin / While in the discharge of her humble / Duty on the 26th day of March / AD 1860 aged 26 years." "Stay mortal man oh stay and shed a tear / For the untimely death recorded here. / Sad proof alas how quickly sin destroys / The airy fabric of all earthly joys / And while you read so near the hallow'd spot / Reflect how soon the grave may be your lot / And may the solemn thought instruction give / To be prepared for death e'en while you live." (taken 28.3.2011) |
||
| Ann Sewell was an orphan, hired at the Cockermouth Martinmas Fair, 1859, to be a house
servant at Beckhouse Farm. On 26 March 1860 the farmer and his wife were away to market.
Five day labourers at the farm were served their midday meal by Ann, including George
Cass from Eaglesfield, who was the last to go back to work. His woman and their illegitimate
daughter had come earlier in the day to beg money from him. George slit Ann's throat
in an argument, taking her purse containing one sovereign and a half crown. George
was tried at the Carlisle assizes, 2 August 1860, and was hanged on 17 August before
a large crowd of spectators. |
||
| Such was the sensation that Ann's funeral, 29 March, was attended by a great crowd,
including local gentry. |
