Extraordinary adventurer and the Sir Charles Asgill imposture
In a Dorset town near Shaftesbury a clergyman took in a so called nephew of Sir Charles Asgill under a generous yearly allowance. The youth charmed locals with wit and generosity, ran up big bills, vanished, and a web of misdirected letters and hoax connections emerged. The tale spans wardrobes, chateaus, and a tailor’s deft credit tricks as investigators track the impersonator’s clever deceit over eight months.
