The body of a newly born female child was found strangled in the shrubbery in the grounds of Alnwick Castle on 19 December 1948.
The body was found by a man that had been walking down Denwick Lane who had occasion to look over a high wall between the road and the castle grounds. He said that he saw something lying on the ground which he first conceived to be a child's doll and climbed down from the wall to look and found, to his horror, that it was the body of an apparently recently-born child.
