In 1895, three young children went into the Hazel Woods with their Grandfather on a hunting excursion.
However, the children were left alone while their Grandfather and his friend tried to find the pheasant they had shot down.
The children wandered away from where they were told to stay - never to be seen again.
10 hours later, the murdered bodies of the three children were found in a clearing in the forest - their bodies covered in blood.
The mother of the children died soon after due to a nervous breakdown. The whole village had been torn apart because of this horrific incident.
The Grandfather vowed to find and kill the murderer of his "beautiful grandchildren", but died of old age never discovering who committed the murder.
However, two years later, a man called Thomas Riding, the local blacksmith, confessed to the murders and then murdered himself. Very little is known about him.
The children, all brothers and sisters, have a memorial stone dedicated to them on the edge of the Hazel Woods in Shropshire, England.
Alice(9), Edward(5) and Gracie (11) had a sister, Louise, who never went on the hunting trip because she had an upset stomach. She was distraught after the murders of her siblings.
Louise's Grandaughter provided British Endeavour pictures with a diary of her Grandmothers. In this, Louise has revealed her own feelings and emotions about the murders and also how she felt when Thomas Riding confessed to the murders.
