<br /> <br /> the Hung drawn and quartered Pub london<br /> <br /> <br /> 26-27, Great Tower Street, Tower hill, London, there is a jolly little pub called; THE HUNG DRAWN AND QUARTERED<br /> <br /> <br /> reminded me of the old Caxton Gibbet in cambridgeshire<br /> <br /> <br />  To be hanged, drawn and quartered was the penalty once ordained in England for the crime of high treason. It is considered by many to be the epitome of cruel punishment and was reserved<br /> only for this most serious crime, which was deemed more heinous than murder and other capital offences. It was applied only to male criminals, except on the Isle of Man. Women found guilty of<br /> treason in England were sentenced to be drawn to a place of execution and burned at the stake, a punishment changed to hanging by the Treason Act 1790 in Great Britain and 1796 in Ireland.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />

<br /> <br /> <br /> On the corner of Byward street and Great Tower Street sits<br /> the Hung, Drawn and Quartered a large Fullers pub named after the traditional penaltyfor high treason in medieval times, a punishment carried out many times nearby.<br /> <br /> Fullers manage some of the best pubs in London and this is<br /> no exception. Given its location it is always busy so has a vibe of a well used traditional City pub. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
