Ruth Ellis - The Last Lady-Jeff Rozelaar

Event type: Main Meeting
Date: 1st July 2026
Time: 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Venue: St.Marys Church
Organiser:

Ruth Ellis - The Last Lady .... The presentation isn't just of national interest, but has significant relevance to the area we live in.

Ruth Ellis is buried at Amersham and the lover she shot lies in the churchyard at Penn. Apart from the above sad denouement, much of the story took place in South Bucks.

An original and engaging depiction of what befell the last femme fatale to be hung. Her sensational story grabbed the headlines in the very different Britain of 1955.

Accompany Jeff into the Old Bailey itself where he dramatizes the final chapters. Had you been on the jury what would have been your verdict?
