The details are amazing. With apologies for anyone just going for tea I have pasted the last paragraph of the trial of William Ireland and John Grove for Offences against the King, Treason, 31st January 1679:- After which both he and the other were hang'd up by the Neck, and cut down whilst some life remaind in them, afterwards their breasts were ript open, their hearts taken out, their bodies quartered , and the same day buried in St. Giles in the Fields. (They did not mess around in those days with a slap on the wrist, but I suppose they did get a suspended sentence...........Sorry!)
