Charlotte Dymond was the victim of a still uncertain murder ... or was it unintentionally? Charlotte was a servant at Penhale Farm, on the edge of Bodmin Moor in Cornwall. She had a relationship with Matthew Weeks, who was a crippled farmhand. On a Sunday 14th April, in the afternoon, the couple walked out on the Moor to the foot of Roughtor. Some think this is where they became mix up in an argument. Then Matthew lost his temper and cut her throat. But then others say (e.g. The Ballad of Charlotte Dymond) Matthew had planned it through jealousy for apparently Charlotte had another lover, Harvey. So he had a razor up his sleeve ready for the right moment.

Her body was found in a stream near Roughtor Ford a week later, by which time Matthew had fled. He was captured in Plymouth, and later was sentenced to a public hanging in Bodmin, where a crowd of 20,000 watched him hang. He was buried in the Gaol's coal yard.

Quick Facts:

1. Charlotte was born in 1826.

2. She died in 1844 when she 18.

3. Her boyfriend (Matthew Weeks) was 22 when he killed her.

4. Charlotte worked for Mrs Phillipa Peter.
