‘wantons & wits’


friday october 28 2022 at 7pm

Nestled in the delightful area of St Andrewgate, the tiny court of Bedern has long enjoyed an illustriously haunting history.

However, during the Victorian era, and as a throng of brothel-keepers, and criminals claimed the streets around Bedern as their own – this once respectable area of York would become an urban underworld of vice and crime.

Drawing on exclusive archival material, newspaper reports and an unpublished autobiography – ‘Wantons & Wits’ will shine a light on the notorious history of this enclave in the 19th century and of our understanding of Victorian morality as Tee shares the tales of those long-forgotten folk.
