In August 1867, the quiet market town of Alton, Hampshire became the centre of one of Victorian England’s most unsettling criminal cases.
This Loft Session examines the murder of Fanny Adams, an eight-year-old child whose death shocked the nation and left a lasting mark on British culture. Told through historical records and contemporary reporting, the episode explores the social world of Victorian England, the investigation that followed Fanny’s disappearance, and the trial of Frederick Baker.
The case would later become linked to the phrase “Sweet Fanny Adams” – a saying still used today, often without awareness of its disturbing origin. This video looks at how the crime was understood at the time, how justice was carried out, and how language can detach itself from the events that created it.
This episode presents historical violence in a factual and respectful manner, focusing on context, consequence, and remembrance rather than sensational detail.
Viewer discretion is advised.
