The streets of Victorian Britain were crowded by poor and desperate people.
Medical science had progressed slowly since the discoveries of the Greeks owing to religious restrictions. However by the early 1800s the study of anatomy was again at the cutting edge of science and surgeons needed bodies to examine. The law of supply and demand led to the rise of the grisly trade of the body snatchers or the resurrectionists. Learn how and why these men crossed the boundaries of acceptability and what actions brought about the introduction of The Anatomy Act in 1832. Discover what was happening in Ewell on your very doorstep!
