Perhaps one of the most recognised, and despised, faces to be found in the depths of England’s criminal history, is one Amelia Dyer; the infamous baby farmer of Victorian London. Her life and crimes shed light on the grim underbelly of a society so extreme in it’s unwritten rules of acceptable attitudes and behaviours, that it allowed heinous acts such as hers to not only go on without attention but also to thrive.
Dubbed ‘The Ogress of Reading’, Amelia became the face of far more widespread horrors, as she was certainly not the only one to be taking advantage of the vulnerable and the outcasts of Victorian society; ‘fallen women’ and children born into poverty or out of wedlock.
