Charles Thomas Wooldridge Charles Thomas Wooldridge (c. 1865 - 7 July 1896) was a trooper in the British Army's Royal Horse Guards who was executed by hanging at Reading Gaol for the murder of his wife, an act driven by jealousy that became the central subject of Oscar Wilde's renowned poem The Ballad of Reading Gaol. [1] [2] Born in 1865 in the village of East Garston, Berkshire, Wooldridge.. Charles Thomas Wooldridge had been a trooper in the Royal Horse Guards. He was convicted of cutting the throat of his wife, Laura Ellen, [1] earlier that year at Clewer, near Windsor. He was aged 30 when executed. [2][3] Wilde wrote the poem in 1897, beginning it in Berneval-le-Grand and completing it in Naples. [4]
