Investigation Invitation
 

The Field Detectives is a group of historians that seek opportunities to survey fields that can tell us more about how our historic landscapes evolved. By sharing the findings from our field surveys, we help to inform and re-engage people with their local heritage. One of our favourite sayings is “Every field tells a story”.

THE TRIAL OF FRANCIS HACKER

The Trial of Francis Hacker premiered in St Guthlac’s Church, Stathern, on Saturday 26th October 2024.

The good people of Stathern sat in judgment of a trial that took place in 1660. The High Sheriff of Leicestershire oversaw their verdict, and it is a closely guarded secret.

Francis was a man of Stathern, a soldier, a father, a brother and a man of God. He was tried as a King Killer…

Take a look at the trial trailer and see if you would like the opportunity to judge for yourselves.
