The civil war in Weymouth is mostly remembered for an incredible plot which was hatched by one of its’ leading citizens and royalist sympathisers, Fabian Hodder.. Together with his wife, her friend Elizabeth Wall and several others, the plot, which has become known locally as the Crabchurch Conspiracy, was aimed at bringing the town once more, under the control of the Kings army, and, before its’ desperate conclusion would result in the deaths of many of the conspirators and the soldiers of both sides.
