Tyburn is synonymous with the idea of execution - over 50,000 people died there between the 12th century and 1783. The authors tell the story of how Tyburn came to be the place of execution and of the rituals and spectacle associated with the deaths of so many people, including William Wallace and Jonathan Wild.
