Description

"Tyburn, close to present-day Marble Arch, is synonymous with public hanging - over 50,000 people died there between the twelfth century and 1783. A survey of those who died at Tyburn and the crimes for which they were executed provides fascinating insights into economic and social change in London and throughout Britain in this period."--BOOK JACKET.
