Epidose 5: Oliver Cromwell's head. Warts n All
-
- History
In Januray 1661 three bodies were hanging in chains on the gallows at Tyburn. All three were long since dead and buried but had been dug up for a posthumous execution in revenge for the killing of the king. If thats not strange enough, Oliver Cromwell's head then had another three hundred years of being passed about the place.
