This talk exposes some of the eAbout this EventThe Essex Executioner - William Calcraft, from Little Baddow, is the longest serving executioner in history. We explore some of the executions of the country’s number one hangman, including some that went tragically wrong. We shine a light on an appalling miscarriage of justice when a heroic Chelmsford man should have been congratulated for his bravery, instead he perished at the end of Calcraft’s rope.We analyse a case that drew the biggest crowd in history to the streets of London to witness a double hanging. Queen Victoria personally knew the accused.We explain the physiology of the hanging process.Calcraft executed more than 450 people, how did he rationalise his profession with his conscience? The answer lies in his deep roots and early influences in Little Baddow.We highlight his influence on the English language, his inventions and his entrepreneurial streak.
