County councillor Hancock, of Neyland, who is manager of the Haverfordwest Museum, is also a respected author and an expert on engineer I. K. Brunel's work in Pembrokeshire. He gave an enthralling talk entitled 'Murder most foul.'
Mr. Hancock described the murder by poisoning of Mary Griffiths, of Cuckoo Farm, Haverfordwest, in 1811, by her husband John, who was later publicly hanged. On the scaffold, Griffiths also admitted to the murder of his first wife.
But by an extraordinary coincidence, exactly 100 years later, in 1911, another murder occurred at the same address when a man by the name of Vaughan killed his wife and child by placing explosives under his wife's bed.
The club also recently held a round of 'Youth Speaks' at the hotel when a team from Ysgol Dyffryn Taf was declared the winners before an audience of Rotarians, parents and members of Inner Wheel.
The team, comprising Joe Bishop, Poppy Lewis and Jacob Sargent will now proceed to the next round of the competition.
