Book Synopsis

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.
