Peasenhall - Rose Harsent

To the left of the crossroads stands Stuart House, once known as Providence House, the scene of the dreadful murder of poor little Rose Harsent on the night of 31 May 1902. There can still be seen in the attic window where Rose set her candle as a message to her lover, but it was in the kitchen below that she was done to death. The crime still remains a mystery and people from far and near still come to look at the house and visit her grave, still tended, in the cemetery.
