Wrington's darker past
Visitors to Wrington will notice this tree enclosed with white railings and a seat to enjoy the view from. However, this tree is marked thus to commemorate a dark secret from the past. Its predecessor stood here in the seventeenth century; in 1685 the Duke of Monmouth tried to raise a challenge to the crown, ending in the Battle of Sedgemoor, where he was defeated. In the subsequent prosecutions, one Judge Jeffreys exacted a stern punishment that became known as the Bloody Assizes. Three men from Wrington met the hangman here - at the junction of School Road and the appropriately named Roper's Lane.
