[1] She and her husband were executed on the morning of 18 March 1789 at Newgate Prison along with seven other men who had been convicted of various offences.
She was brought out past the hanging bodies of the others, and made to stand on a foot-high, 10-inch-square platform in front of the stake.
When she finished her prayers, her executioner, William Brunskill, piled faggots of straw around the stake and lit them.
[3] According to testimony given by Sir Benjamin Hammett, the Sheriff of London, he gave instructions that she should be strangled before being burned.
[4] She was, reportedly, tied with one rope around her neck, after which the platform was removed from under her feet and 30 minutes passed before the fire was lit, and thus, she was not actually burned alive.
