Sir Harold Hillier Gardens

Lecture Lunch - The Cleft Chin Murder

Wednesday 11th November 2026

11.00am

As Hitler’s V2 rockets hit London in 1944, a 22 year old American GI deserter and an 18 year old Welsh woman hid their identities as they became involved in a brief crime spree that ended with the cold-blooded murder of a taxi driver. Their story reveals a wartime Britain facing deep social problems that ultimately led the pair to the hangman’s noose.

Coffee at 11am, followed by this gripping lecture with retired detective Paul Stickler and a two-course lunch served in Jermyn's House set in the heart of the Gardens.
