The wife of the Church of England’s most notorious abuser has spoken publicly for the first time, saying she is “desperately sorry” for never confronting him.
John Smyth was a barrister, then QC, and chairman of the Iwerne Trust, which ran Christian holiday camps in Dorset for children. He was accused of assaulting the boys he met at the retreats inside his home in Winchester, during the 1970s and 1980s.
