The Hangman's Gallows

About this episode

Some of England's worst criminals met their end at the Tyburn Gallows, an infamous site at which the public could purchase tickets to attend executions. This episode explores the origins of hanging-style executions, the different methods, how the act has evolved, the theatrics behind the practice, and how – at least in England – capital punishment has since come to be abolished.
