History of the Hellfire Club
For over 300 years a secret club has been defamed, mocked and feared for being the Devil’s house on Earth. It was called the Hellfire Club.
The Hellfire Club, a scandalous parody of gentlemen’s clubs in London, poked fun at religious authority and cultural restraint.
But what did the Hellfire Club actually get up to? Esme James, Doctor of Philosophy in the making at the University of Melbourne, spoke to 2SER about what really went on inside the Hellfire Club.
