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'.
Supposedly has an inscription on the blade saying that if you're executed with this sword, that you go directly to heaven.

The Execution platform at Alanya Fortress gave the victim a 700 meter bounce to the sea. It was not possible to avoid the rocky sides or to halt before the bottom. Alanya_01
Map indicating the number and location of executions on grounds of heresy that occurred during the reign of Queen Mary I in London. The protestant martyrs were burnt at the stake at Smithfield which was located outside the city’s walls. The map shows that seven martyrs were bunt there in 1555, 10 in 1556, 16 in 1557 and 10 in 1558. In 1555 one protestant was killed at Westminster (seen in the bottom left of the map). The individual in question was William Flower who had once been a monk of Ely, then married and became a surgeon and later a schoolmaster. Flower had publicly declared his protestant views – a gesture which was met with admiration by fellow Protestants and by shock and dismay by Catholics. He was sent to the stake ten days later and, according to John Foxe, his death was a prolonged one.
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.

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.
A a poster advertising the first and only public execution to be held at Armley Jail. It took place on 10 September 1864 and saw the double execution, by hanging, of James Sargisson and Joseph Myers. Both were from other parts of Yorkshire but were tried at the Leeds Assize Court and found guilty of murder. The poster details the crimes of each men and goes on to report on the ‘condemned sermon’ held by the Rev. Henry Tuckwell and the last meeting of Myers and his family. It also includes lyrics to a song or poem written partly from the point of view of Myers.

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.

There seems to be Morris Dancing in Warrington town centre nearly every other week.
Today there were a load of dancers. I asked one of them, who said is was a Morris Dancers Day, when groups from all over gather together.
There was even a Morris dancing horse!
Morris dance is a form of English folk dance usually accompanied by music. It is based on rhythmic stepping and the execution of choreographed figures by a group of dancers, usually wearing bell pads on their shins. Implements such as sticks, swords and handkerchiefs may also be wielded by the dancers. In a small number of dances for one or two men, steps are performed near and across a pair of clay tobacco pipes laid across each other on the floor.
Necklacing is the practice of extrajudicial summary execution and torture carried out by forcing a rubber tire filled with petrol around a victim's chest and arms, and setting it on fire. The victim may take up to 20 minutes to die, suffering severe burns in the process.
Necklacing was used by the black community to punish its members who were perceived as collaborators with the apartheid government. Necklacing was primarily used on police informants; the practice was often carried out in the name of the struggle, although the executive body of the African National Congress (ANC), the most broadly supported South African opposition movement, condemned it. In 1986, Winnie Mandela, then-wife of the imprisoned Nelson Mandela, stated, "With our boxes of matches, and our necklaces, we shall liberate this country", which was widely seen as an explicit endorsement of necklacing, which at the time caused the ANC to distance itself from her, although she later took on a number of official positions within the party.

Lyric Visions
The conquest of the Persian empire by the Macedonian Greeks led by Alexander was the culmination of his campaigns in the East. Alexander had defeated the Persian emperor Dara, or Darius, in a series of epic battles and pursued Dara who had been set to flight. Two of Daras followers, seeing that the end was near, murdered Dara in the hopes of gaining favor with Alexander. However, when Alexander came to the side of the dying Dara, he asked Alexander to execute the traitors. Alexander is shown seated, honroing his wishes by overseeing their hanging. Above the image is a rhyming verse in Ottoman Turkish that reads:
Don't think that the traitor prospers;
Either his head is cut off or he is hanged on the gallows.
Marks: "February 22, 2005Robert DamkoffHaini sanma ki ber-hordar olurYa kesilur basi ya ber-dar olur[The word basi should be with s-cedilla and undotted i]Don't think that the traitor prospers:Either his head is cut off or he is hung on the gallows."
