Product Information

A condemned highwayman’s last journey to Tyburn was graphically described by Jonathan Swift (author of Gulliver’s Travels) in 1727:

Most of the highwaymen were not like Duval, they were really no more than ‘thugs’, but one exception was Twysden, Bishop of Raphoe who was killed carrying out a robbery on the Heath.
