On the evening of September 20th back in 1877, Police Officer Thomas Bishop was on a normal duty in the quiet village of Bere Regis. The town was hosting a local and popular event, which was synonymous with consuming alcohol and bouts of disorder breaking out.

As such, a few officers were placed around the town at the local hotspots, with PC Thomas Bishop and a colleague manning a popular local public house called the Drax Arms.
