Hangman's Acre [note]
"About a ¼ mile N.N.E. [North North East] of the Church there is an artificial
eminence (the Gallow Knowe on plan 31.9) on this spot a
gibbet was erected for the unfortunate persons whom the servile
court of a Despotic baron condemned to death. Vestiges of
the hangman's habitation appear at the foot of the tumuli (cannot
be identified) & the name of a neighbouring plot of land perpetuates the memory
of this infamous practice" New Statistical Account
