English and Welsh Executions 1828-1836

During this nine year period there were 408 executions in England and Wales, comprising 385 men and 23 women. The period from 1828 to 1836 saw the ending of capital punishment for many crimes other than murder and attempted murder. 31.5% of those executed during this time suffered for these two offences.  After 1836 they were the only crimes, that in practice resulted in execution.

In other capital cases, e.g. sodomy, the death sentence was recorded but commuted to a prison term or transportation. In 1861 the Criminal Law Consolidation Act reduced the number of capital crimes to four: Murder, High Treason, Arson in a Royal Dockyard and Piracy.

Unless specified, executions took place outside the county jail in the place mentioned below. Ages where known are from newspaper reports and should be considered as a guide. Spellings of names are taken from newspaper accounts and hand written court records. If you are searching for a particular name try any likely spelling e.g. Simonds, Simmonds, Symonds etc.
