London: The Executioner's City by David Brandon
Tyburn Fields is the best known site of execution in London, but London may be aptly named the executioner's city, so many were the places where executions could and did occur. This book reveals the capital as a place where the bodies of criminals defined the boundaries of the city and heads on poles greeted patrons on London Bridge.
David Brandon is a historian. He runs a variety of courses and lectures on topics such as 'Absolute Rotters and Total Cads - Villains in British History'; and 'You Are What You Eat - Food and Eating Habits 1550-2000'. He is the author of Stand and Deliver! (Sutton, 2001). Alan Brooke is a lecturer at Peterborough College and collaborated with David Brandon on their highly successful Tyburn - London's Fatal Tree (Sutton, 2004).
