The Campden Wonder
The Campden Wonder is the name given to events surrounding the return of a man thought murdered from the town of Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, in the 17th century. A servant, his mother and brother were hanged for killing their master. But following the man's return, it became clear that no murder ever took place despite testimony attesting to the crime by the accused. The story attracted popular attention in England in the years 1660–1662.
==Disappearance==
On August 16, 1660, 70-year-old William Harrison left his home in Campden intending to walk two miles to the village of Charingworth. But when he did not return at the expected time, his wife sent his manservant John Perry to look for him. Neither Harrison nor Perry had returned by the next morning.
Edward Harrison, William Harrison's son, was then sent out to look for the pair. While on his way to Charingworth, Edward met John Perry. The servant revealed that he had not been able to find his master. The pair then continued their journey to Ebrington where they questioned one of the tenants whom Harrison had been going to see. The tenant revealed that Harrison had been there the previous night. With this information, Edward Harrison and John Perry continued their journey to the local village of Paxford. However, their search proved fruitless.
Edward and John then headed back to Chipping Campden. During the journey, they heard that some items belonging to William Harrison had been discovered on the main road between Chipping Campden and Ebrington. These included a hat, shirt and collar. Although the hat had been slashed by a sharp implement and the shirt and collar were covered in blood, there was no sign of the body of William Harrison.
