Newgate executions 1837 - 1902

All of the executions listed here are for murder.
A total of 107 people were hanged in this period, comprising 99 men and 8 women.
The first 44 executions were carried out in public, in front of the Debtor's Door. Michael Barrett became the last
man to die in public. The subsequent 63 executions took place in the execution shed in one of the prison's yards in private.
Of these hangings, 9 were carried out in the 20th century. London executions were transferred to Pentonville on
the closure of Newgate, along with the gallows.

With special thanks to Matthew Spicer for his help with this project.
