info:
Anne Green, 22 years old, was led to her place of execution at Cattle Yard in Oxford. Just days before, she had been condemned for murdering her bastard child and hiding its corpse in her employer’s house. As she approached the gallows, she dropped to her knees, ‘humbly desiring of God, that his Divine Majesty would be pleased, to shew some remarkable judgement upon her’. According to witnesses, Anne then rose to her feet and began a slow and agonizing climb up the ladder to her death.

Miraculously, she survives being hanged and is later pardoned.
