The Welkin

A young woman, Sally Poppy, has been convicted of the brutal murder of a child and sentenced to hang. However, she makes a claim that could save her life, stating that she is pregnant. Under the law of the time, a pregnant woman cannot be executed until after giving birth. Consequently, ten local women are summoned to form a jury of matrons, whose responsibility is to determine whether Sally is telling the truth.
