Today anyone who commits petty crime can usually find themselves sentenced to a few days or months in prison, or handed a fine. This is an exploration of punishments given to criminals in Shrewsbury over the centuries. It explains how different devices, such as the stocks, guillotine and the whipping post were used, and also features stories of local criminals and their misdeeds. It is bound to captivate anyone interested in Shrewsburys more shadowy history.

Rare Book
Martin Wood is the worlds tallest town crier and toastmaster. He conducts ghost tours and the Terrible Tudor Tour around Shrewsbury. Martin wrote Haunted Shrewsbury for Tempus in 2007. The idea for this book came after Martin had been involved in a radio programme with Radio Shropshire about punishment. After the show had been aired, a lady stopped him in the street and asked if the information could be found in a book. Martin lives in Shrewsbury.
