'A MOST UNNATURAL AND BLOODY MURDER': WALTER CALVERLEY
The following texts relate to the most notorious and often-represented case of child murder in early modern England. On 23 April 1605 Walter Calverley (27 years old at the time) killed his two older sons, William (aged 4) and Walter (aged 18 months), tried to kill a third son, baby Henry, and seriously wounded his wife Philippa. He was captured and examined before justices, but at his subsequent trial he made no plea and refused to answer the charges. On 5 August 1605 he was `pressed' to death - i.e. he was pressed with heavy stones to see if he would plead but still remained silent and so died. {JS}
Even while he was still in gaol the case was described in an anonymous pamphlet entitled Two most unnaturall and bloodie murthers: the one by Maister Caverley [sic], a Yorkshire gentleman, practised upon his wife, and committed uppon his two children, the three and twentie of Aprill 1605 (London, 1605). It was also the subject of a subsequent play, A Yorkshire tragedy (London, 1608), reprinted in the Revels Plays Series, edited by A. C. Cawley and B. Gaines (Manchester, 1986) [Library PR 2872.C18].
