Harrison disappeared after visiting a nearby village to collect a relatively large sum of money and various searches failed to trace him. Finally John Perry confessed to his murder but later retracted the confession.
However, as a result of his confession all three members of the Perry family were convicted of murder, despite the lack of a body.
They were hanged, close to the top of Fish Hill near Broadway, for a murder that never took place because 15 months later Harrison returned to Campden with a barely believable story of his disappearance.
