THIS year marks the 170th anniversary of the murder of Charlotte Dymond on Bodmin Moor. Now there are proposals to improve access to her memorial.

The murder of Charlotte Dymond, on April 14, 1844, is written into the history of Bodmin Moor.

Charlotte, an 18-year-old domestic servant, worked on the edge of the moor between Camelford and Davidstow at Penhale Farm.

The farm was owned by an elderly widow and her son, and along with Charlotte there were two other live-in servants, John Stevens and Matthew Weeks, both in their early 20s.
