More about this scene
There is no hint of a dark secret in this view. But in 1727, a company of players gave a performance in a nearby barn. So popular was it, that the doors were nailed shut to prevent any more people from getting in. But then a fire started, and eighty-two people were burned to death. Nearly fifty years later, an old man on his deathbed confessed to having caused this terrible tragedy. A monument to the dead stands in Burwell's churchyard.
