In recent decades, few communities in Devon have experienced such a rapid growth in population as Kingsteignton. Former country lanes are now busy highways and once green fields have given way to housing as the face of Kingsteignton has changed forever. Founded as a key settlement of the Anglo-Saxon conquest in the early eighth century, Kingsteignton became something of a backwater during the Middle Ages, quietly nestled on the north bank of the Teign Estuary. The development of the vast reserves of ball clay on the western side of the parish in the early nineteenth century, accelerated by the building of two canals, saw workers from all parts of Devon move to Kingsteignton in search of jobs. Population movement was facilitated by the expansion of the railways and improvements in the road network. Today two main road routes and a nearby rail link make Kingsteignton easily accessible, bringing ever more growth and change.

Broadmoor, Britain’s first asylum for criminal lunatics, was founded in 1863. In the first years of its existence, one in five patients was female. Most had been tried for terrible crimes and sent to Broadmoor after being found not guilty by virtue of insanity. Many had murdered their own children, while others had killed husbands or other family members. Drawing on Broadmoor’s rich archive, this book tells the story of seven of those women, ranging from a farmer’s daughter in her 20s who shot dead her own mother to a middle-class housewife who drowned her baby daughter. Their moving stories give a glimpse into what nineteenth-century life was like for ordinary women, often struggling with poverty, domestic abuse and repeated childbearing. For some, Broadmoor, with its regime of plain food, fresh air and garden walks, was a respite from the hardships of their previous life. Others were desperate to return to their families. All but one of the women whose stories are recounted in this book recovered and were released. Their bout of insanity was temporary. Yet the causes of their condition were poorly understood and the treatment rudimentary. As well as providing an in-depth look at the lives of women in Victorian England, the book offers a fascinating insight into the medical profession’s emerging understanding of the causes and treatment of mental illness.
