Does anyone know the true story behind Thomas Hardy's poem 'The Trampwoman's Tragedy', excellently recorded by Phil Callery, among others? I seem to remember it was based on a murder case in the 1830s, and concerned a woman called Mary Ann Taylor. Being a curious chap, I'd love to find out the true story.
