Buried at night with no shirt - - the story of Robert Meredith
Forest historian Roger Deeks has researched the thought-provoking story of Robert Meredith who, in 1879, took his own life rather than face the horror of Newent Workhouse. It highlights our changing attitudes towards suicide, poverty and mental health. The full story is told in the latest edition of the New Regard, the history journal of the Forest of Dean Local History Society, available at https://forestofdeanhistory.org.uk and local outlets.
