In 1884 Babbacombe’s most infamous resident was John Lee, “The man they couldn’t hang”, who was convicted of the murder of his employer Miss Keyes.
He was only 20 years old at the time, John was sentenced to death but the trap on the gallows failed to open after three attempts. His sentence was reduced to life in prison and after 22 years, he was allowed to leave, he then lived on to the age of 69.
