Visit Rugeley and the surrounding villages and stay in bed & breakfast accommodation:
Rugeley, Staffordshire. In the churchyard of St Augustine's Church in this pleasant little town, to the North East of Cannock Chase, is a tombstone to John Parsons Cook. The simple inscription gives a date, 1855, and the statement “His life was taken away”. The facts behind that relate to one of the most sensational murder trials of the mid 19th century when William Palmer, a Rugeley doctor born in 1824 and educated at the local grammar school, was found guilty, after a 12-day hearing, of poisoning Cook, a bookmaker to whom he owed money. Palmer was executed in public at Stafford, taking with him the secret of the poison he had used.
