Cowdray Ruins Monday 4 May Murder Mystery

Seven suspects, two potential murders, and a lot of confusing intrigue. Set during the Wars of the Roses, with a back drop of events following the Battle of Tewkesbury, our suspects arrived to spend the night at Cowdray Manor whilst travelling to Chichester from London.

The following morning one of the party is dead, throat slit in his bed, and the Manor Steward was found in the barn, apparently having killed himself in remorse of past deeds.

Over 40 visitors turned sleuth to investigate, and try an identify the murder or murders.

Miss Marple had nothing on some of the would be detectives, and the murderer, or should I say murderess, and her accomplices, were correctly identified.

Thanks to Harrison for contributing to todays photos. Huge thanks to all who participated and supported the event.

Very successful and enjoyable day, and again the weather gods were generous.
