Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bygone Nottinghamshire This work, the neatest literary task I have hitherto performed, is uniform with other "Bygone" county histories from the press of my friend William Andrews, F. R. H. S, who, from being a native of Nottinghamshire, has evinced great interest in its publication. This uniformity extends little beyond the title, inasmuch as it the production of one pen alone. To render the work acceptable to the public, I have travelled over a wide field for my subjects; these I have endeavoured to treat without colour from political or other sources; although necessarily epitomised, I claim for them, if they possess no other merit, originality. Where authorities exist they are invariably given; where otherwise, I am personally responsible for the matter.

Download or read book Olde Nottinghamshire Punishments written by Ian Morgan and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-01-31 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generation after generation has come up with new forms of punishment to inflict on those guilty (and sometimes innocent) of crimes against property and person. From the stocks and pillory, to flogging, ducking and transportation to foreign lands, this volume brings to life those turbulent times of long ago. Even after suffering the ultimate in punishments — death — the bodies of the convicted could still be punished. Stories of dissection, when the body of the deceased criminal was publicly carved up, or gibbeting, when the corpse would be coated in tar and canvass and displayed in an iron frame on a pole 30ft high, are gruesome in the extreme. Pity poor John Spencer, whose rotting remains were gibbeted for over sixty years until the cage was finally blown down in a storm. Richly illustrated, this book provides a fascinating glimpse into the dark world of punishments through the centuries and will appeal to all those wishing to discover more about Nottinghamshire's intriguing past.

Download or read book Echoes of Old Lancashire written by William Edward Armytage Axon and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1899 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Preface This volume is intended for those who find it pleasant, at times, to wander in the byways of topography and local literature. The development of Lancashire, especially in its relation to modern industrial life, has been told by more than one able historian, and all that is here attempted is to glean in the ample harvest fields. The bygone customs, forgotten worthies, outworn superstitions, historical episodes and travellers' tales here recorded, will, it is hoped, not be without interest. If some of the articles seem more modern than the title would strictly justify, it must be remembered that the changes in the condition of the County Palatine have been so rapid that many things have become obsolete in the life time of the existing generation.
