I switch now to the more concise account of Edmund Arrowsmith's final moments in the 17th century manuscript at Westminster Archdiocesan Archives ref. AAW A22/129:
“Coming to ye place of Execution he prayed most devoutly almost a quarter of an hour. For that interim ye head-Sheriff sent one privatly post to the Judge to know yet his pleasure, but all in vain. Then going towards ye Ladder he kneeled thrice saying ferverously at every time: I freely offer to thee sweet Jesus my life in satisfaction for my Sins... Then praying for the whole Realm & his Persecutors he forgave them & desired all catholics present (who were many) to pray with him and for him in this last conflict when he had most need. Then Parson Lee answered: there are no Catholics here. F Arrows. replied: I am ye more sorry, & wish I dyed as many Deaths as there are men on ye hill (which were almost innumerable) on condition they were all Catholics. Shall I pray for you, quoth the Parson. I desire not yr Prayers, said the other; neither will I pray wish you. So going up the Ladder & being on high he turned towards ye People, & with smiling Countenance exhorted all Catholics to constancy; while also exhorting the rest to ye Catholic faith. Praying a while after out of a written book, he pulled his Cap over his Eyes expecting Death. Then Parson Lee call'd on him, saying Sir, the King is yet merciful, if you will take the Oath, or be comformable. The Father put up his Cap again & somewhat hastily replyed: you are deceived in me. I am far from that in no case, in no condition. (I use his words.) Then with unda[u]nted resolution he zealously moved the audience to become members of ye true church as they tendered [to] their own Salvation, for that only is it, said he, as one day will most steed you. Some Ministers mutteringly interrupted him saying, we shall look to ourselves well enough. Others farther off cryed out: no more of that, no more of that & away with him. Then pulling his Cap over his Eyes ye 2nd & last time, in most fervent prayers to God, he was cast off the Ladder still praying as the moving of his Lips shewed whilst breath lasted.* He was suffered to hang till dead;** then cut down and quartered. This his happy end made many Protestants wish their Souls in no worse care than his was.”
*The 1737 tract has: “His Lips were seen to move, and BONE JESU, GOOD JESUS were the last Words, that immediately preceded his being thrown off the Ladder, and suffered to hang, till a happy Soul free from a mortal Body was admitted to the Crown of Justice”.
**The sentence of the court, according to the 18th century account, had been that “you shall be hanged by the Neck, till you be HALF dead; your Members shall be cut off before your Face...”. It then reports merely that “he was cut down, dismember'd, bowelled, quartered [etc]”. Was Edmund Arrowsmith “suffered to hang till dead”? The editors of the Victoria County History evidently believed so, stating -without, so far as I can see, any other authority for the proposition than the manuscript quoted above- that “by a special consideration he was allowed to hang till he was dead, before the rest of the sentence was carried out” (History of the County of Lancaster Vol 4, 1911).
Shown above is part of another 17th century account of the life and martyrdom of Edmund Arrowsmith, from Mathias Tanner's “Societas Jesu usque ad sanguinis et vitae profusionem militans...” which was first published in 1675. The title of the illustration top left gives the date of martyrdom, incorrectly, as 7 September 1628.

Execution Rocks Lighthouse is located in Long Island Sound. Legend has it that the British used to chain prisoners to the rocks at low tide and wait for them to drown as the tide came in. The lighthouse was built in the 1840's and recently handed over to a non-profit for restoration. It is a 30 minute boat ride away from the shore, and has no electricity or running water, plus it is rumored to be haunted.
This one is actually quite special since it tells of a 70 year old and a 77 year old male who get a death sentence for 'counter-revolutionary schemes'.

An anonymous print showing Charles I on the scaffold and,below the execution of regicides-from History Today October 2014
The Execution of Lady Jane Grey is an oil painting by Paul Delaroche, completed in 1833, which is now in the National Gallery in London. It was enormously popular in the decades after it was painted, but in the 20th century realist historical paintings fell from critical favour and it was kept in storage for many decades, for much of which it was thought lost. Restored and displayed again since 1975, it immediately once again became a highly popular work, especially with younger visitors.[1]
The painting portrays, erroneously in some regards, the moments preceding the death of Lady Jane Grey, who on 10 July 1553 was proclaimed Queen of England, only to be deposed nine days later and executed in 1554. Jane is sometimes referred to as the "Nine Days' Queen" due to the brevity of her reign.

O pictura deosebit de apreciata in secolul 19, Execution of Lady Jane Grey a fost realizata de Paul Delaroche in 1833. In secolul 20, stilul realist cu teme istorice scade in popularitate, pictura ajungand in depozit.
Este expusa din nou in 1975, devenind deosebit de populara mai ales in randul publicului tanar.
Pictura evoca ultimele momente ale reginei Jane Grey.

Judith and Holofernes, 1620-21
Artemisia Gentileschi
Assyrian king Nebuchadnezzar sent his general Holofernes to besiege the Jewish city of Bethulia. Judith, described as a beautiful young widow, resolves to save her people by slaying Holofernes herself. After reciting a long prayer to God, she dons her finest clothes in order to seduce him. After Holofernes has drank enough wine to become intoxicated, Judith decapitates him with his own sword, winning a decisive victory for the Israelites.

From Artemisia
(October 2020 to January 2021)
"I will show Your Illustrious Lordship what a woman can do"
In 17th-century Europe, at a time when women artists were not easily accepted, Artemisia was exceptional. She challenged conventions and defied expectations to become a successful artist and one of the greatest storytellers of her time.
Artemisia painted subjects that were traditionally the preserve of male artists and for the male gaze; transforming meek maidservants into courageous conspirators and victims into survivors.
In this first major exhibition of Artemisia’s work in the UK, see her best-known paintings including two versions of her iconic and viscerally violent ‘Judith beheading Holofernes’; as well as her self portraits, heroines from history and the Bible, and recently discovered personal letters, seen in the UK for the first time.

By kind permission of the Royal Parks Department, the King’s Army Annual March and Parade will again follow the route taken by Charles I from St James Palace on the Mall to the place of his untimely death at the Banqueting House in Whitehall, London. This event is an established part of the London calendar and has followed a similar format now for forty years. The parade assembles from 11am outside St James Palace on The Mall and marches to form up on Horse Guards Parade, a considerable privilege for an organisation such as ourselves, from where a wreath is carried across Whitehall and placed at the execution site. A short service follows and awards and commissions are conferred on deserving members of the King’s Army.
Cook murdered his 2nd wife and was hung here in Woodstock, the first execution (of five) in the city's history, and he was so fat he was decapitated by the noose. This bust of his death mask was placed here beside the door from the gaol to what used to be the prison yard, a warning to the prisoners to behave I take it. They'd pass this at least twice a day.
- I had a job in London, ON from Nov '08 to Nov '09 and tried to see more of southwestern Ontario while I was there (with more to see and learn about than I expected). One night in town I spoke with a bartender about his adventures working in taverns in towns around southern Ontario. I'd just been to Woodstock, and he said it's a strange place with the most obstreporous locals. One day 2 guys in their 30s or 40s were sitting at his bar, the door opened and a 3rd guy walked in. He saw them, they saw him, a pin dropped, and then they jumped each other in an all-out melee. The bartender broke it up and kicked the 3rd guy out. He asked the first 2 what that was all about and they said "ahh, we've hated that guy since high school." !! Woodstock's a small town, they must run into each other several times a month.
