Hell Tor: ‘Pawn or Penitent’ The true story of Lady Mary Howard
Famous on Dartmoor as the woman who murdered her four husbands and now rides around the moor at night in a carriage made from their bones, Lady Mary Howard has a fearsome reputation and is doomed to undertake penance for eternity.

Tracey Norman is a Devon based author, actress and voice artist whose works include ‘The Septillion of Hiheserakh’ and ‘Dark Folklore’.
