Step into one of the most chilling Victorian true crime stories in British history with The Henley Poisoning: Mary Blandy. This historical documentary examines the infamous 18th-century murder case that shocked England in 1751, when respected lawyer Francis Blandy died after being poisoned in his own home in Henley-upon-Thames, Oxfordshire. All suspicion soon fell on his daughter, Mary Blandy, whose secret relationship with army officer Captain William Henry Cranston would become central to the case.
Through court testimony, period forensic evidence, and surviving letters, this film explores how arsenic poisoning, family loyalty, and social pressure collided in a tragic historical murder case. Was Mary Blandy a naïve woman manipulated by a deceitful suitor—or a calculated killer acting with full knowledge of her crime? The documentary follows the investigation, trial at the Oxford Assizes, and the controversial execution that divided public opinion across 19th-century England.
This video is ideal for viewers interested in Victorian history, true crime documentaries, and early criminal justice cases that shaped modern law.
