On a lonely moorland road between Elsdon and Cambo, Northumberland, a strange and forboding sight awaits the traveller, a head swaying in the breeze high on an old weathered gibbet is enough to stop anyone in their tracks. In 1791 William Winter and Jane & Eleanor Clark were executed at the Westgate, Newcastle for the murder of Margaret Crozier. An old lady living alone miles from anywhere was an easy target for the traveller Winter and the Clark girls, a pair of tinkers, who accompanied him to rob and murder the old lady. They were soon caught and paid the price for their crime.
Following the execution the bodies were disposed of in different ways: the females dispatched to the surgeon's hall for dissection whilst the body of William Winter was hung in chains on the gibbet a few miles south of Elsdon within sight of the scene of his crime.
The body was left to rot on the gibbet. A wooden effigy eventually took the place of Winter until only the head remained.
