JasonK:

Robert Murray "Boaby" McCheyne was born in [[Edinburgh]], 21 May 1813. At the age of four he had learned the characters of the [[Greek]] alphabet and was able to sing and recite fluently. He entered formal education at the age of 8 and eventually graduated in November 1827 from [[Edinburgh]] University where he distinguished himself in poetical exercises. In the winter of 1831 he commenced his studies in the Divinity Hall and he was licensed as a preacher by the Annan presbytery on 1 July 1835.

He was appointed assistant to the Rev. John Bonar of Larbert and Dunipace, Stirlingshire. Although his health broke down under the strain of his new office, his deeds as a preacher spread through [[Scotland]], and on 24 November 1836 he was ordained to the pastorate of St. Peter's Church, Dundee. The congregation at the time numbered around 1100 of the faithful. At this time the general assembly of the church of Scotland decided to send a committee to Palestine and McCheyne was included in the number who set sail on 12 April 1839. After his return at the end of 1839 McCheyne resumed his ministerial duties in Dundee with renewed energy. In the autumn of 1842 he visited the north of England on an evangelical mission and made similar journeys to [[London]] and Aberdeenshire. On his return from the Aberdeen he was stricken with a sudden illness and died on Saturday, 25 March 1843. Mourned by hundreds of his parishioners, the "Boaby" was buried in the grounds of his own Church in Dundee where simple headstone marks his grave.

Sweeney Todd

2007-06-14T00:11:00Z

JasonK:

Sweeney Todd is a fictional villain immortalised in the Broadway play "Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street" by [[Stephen Sondheim]]. The play is based on folklore dating back to the 19th Century and is set in [[London]].

Sweeney Todd is a barber who cuts the throats of gentlemen whilst shaving them with a straight razor and uses a trapdoor to send the bodies downstairs to his accomplice. His partner in crime, Mrs Lovett (the "crafty butcher of Fleet Street"), owns the shop below and bakes the poor victims into meat pies. Eventually, both are tried for their crimes and hanged.

It is sometimes claimed that the Sweeney Todd story is based upon fact, but no evidence of this has ever been found. It is far more likely that the play was based on "penny dreadful" horror stories sold in Victorian times.
