St Agnes Asylum

A grim Victorian building on a hill overlooking the Herefordshire village of Weobley houses this lunatic asylum.

• Its superintendent is Doctor Charles Highsmith.
• Its staff included the Nurses Price and Evans and the orderly Frederick Long. Evans turned out to be none other than Montague Edwards.
• Its patients included Alexander Roby and Lucius Harriwell.
• It was the location of the murders of Cuthbert Yates, Frederick Long and Thomas Clarke.
• It was visited by Doctor Frederick Bartlett on a number of occasions, who was also accompanied by Captain George Withers at times.
