Colour covers, heavily illustrated and over 200 pages long, it details the horrific & often sordid lives of English and Scottish Hangmen from our earliest records to the end of public hangings. The hangman not only executed felons by many gruesome methods he also tortured his victims in many cases. Actual hangings are described from the famous to petty thieves, many being botched to the huge distress of victim and watching crowds. Often performing whilst drunk, the hangman may himself have been a murderer, wife beater or petty thief. Most areas of England and Scotland each had their own hangmen (it wasnt only carried out at Tyburn), James Bland looks at a number of these local hangmen - perhaps from your locality! The lives of London hangmen like Jack Ketch and Gregory Brandon are also revealed.
