A walking tour of highwaymen, executions and witches

Executions were rife during the 18^th Century and York has all the best stories. Join Mad Alice of the award winning Bloody Tour of York to hear all about the highwaymen, witches and murderers that met their fate at the Gallows and the stories of the Hangmen themselves. Why were hangings so popular? What happened to women charged with Petty Treason?  Did the Yorkshire Witch spring back to life in her coffin? Who is buried in St. George’s Churchyard whose name lives in infamy?  This tour will visit the finest Georgian Buildings around the eye of York and will even visit the shop of the Hangman’s rope maker.

Suitable for all ages and accessible to all.
