Stories of Executioners
In this episode we look at 3 executioners in England's history. The role of executioner transformed over 100 years from executioners being shunned by the populace in general with a rather unsavoury repution, to becoming a Victorian version of a rock star. In between, we have the story of the executioner who himself was executed, after a lifetime of skirting the law.
Hosted by Robin Coles.
