My name is Dr. Patrick Low. I received my PhD in December 2019 for a thesis on capital punishment and post-mortem punishments in the North-East of England between 1752-1878.

I also created the website www.criminalcorpses.com for a brilliant Leicester University & Wellcome Trust Project. I am not quite as pretentious as my photo suggests. patrickxavierlow@gmail.com
