"The Trial and Conviction of John Church" by Anonymous is a historical book that chronicles the legal battle of John Church, once a preacher, who stands accused of a terrible crime against Adam Foreman, a young apprentice. The book lays out everything from the courtroom drama to the testimonies delivered, painting a picture of the accusations and the world in which it all unfolded. The book opens with an introduction to the August 1817 trial, where Church is charged with assault and an attempt to commit an unnatural act, the details of which come from the apprentice’s narrative of a violation within the confines of their shared home. The book underscores the public's shock and the reasons behind this trial, highlighting the community’s part in judging one who supposedly offered spiritual advice, all the while raising questions about honesty, responsibility, and what Church's actions might mean for society.
The Trial and Conviction of John Church The Preacher of the Surrey Tabernacle, Borough Road, at the Surrey Assizes, at Croydon, on Saturday, the 16th of August, 1817, for an Assault With Intent to Commit an Unnatural Crime.
