Answer 4

.As a form of judicial execution in England, hanging is thought to date from the Saxon period, approximately around 400. Records of the names of British hangmen begin with Thomas de Warblynton in the 1360s; complete records extend from the 1500s to the last hangmen, Robert Leslie Stewart and Harry Allen, who conducted the last British executions in 1964.



In 1965, Parliament passed the "Murder (Abolition of Death Penalty) Act" abolishing capital punishment for murder. And with the introduction of the Human Rights Act in 1998, the death penalty was officially abolished for all crimes in both civilian and military cases.

The last woman to be hanged was Ruth Ellis on July 13, 1955 by Albert Pierrepoint who was a prominent hangman in the 20th century in England. The last hanging in Great Britain happened in 1964, when Peter Anthony Allen, at Walton Prison in Liverpool, and Gwynne Owen Evans, at Strangeways Prison in Manchester were executed for the murder of John Alan West.

Answer 5

Albert Pierrepoint is often mistakenly called Britain’s last hangman.

It is certainly true he was the last official Chief Executioner for Britain and the North of Ireland and for a time the unofficial hangman for the Republic of Ireland — taking over duties from his Uncle Thomas.

However executions continued in Britain until 1964 in Britain and until 1961 in the North.

Robert McGladdery was the last person to be executed in Ireland — hanged in Crumlin Road Gaol in Belfast for the murder of Pearl Gamble in Newry.

Harry Allen was the executioner — a part-time hangman and ice cream vendor until his employer had summonsed him to his office one day and baldly told him: “Hanging and ice cream, ‘Arry m’boy — They don’t mix.”

He was forced to choose between the two careers and opted for the rope over the poke.

Allen also hanged Samuel McGloughlin on the Crumlin gallows earlier in 1964 but never carried out his trade — either ice cream selling or hangman — in the Republic.
