History of Gibbet Hill and Cryfield, anyone?

I heard that there were a group of people who was hung at Gibbet Hill and the people in Cryfield heard them crying therefore it is called Cryfield.

I always thought Gibbet was a name of someone until I looked it up.

Who were the people?

Suddenly I feel lucky not living in Cryfield :redface:

That is all true.

i was in cryfield last year... & i heard the same rumours lol... if they were true, it must have been 100s of years ago, so no need to get worried!

After only a couple of weeks of living in cryfield, residents develop criminal tendancies, unibrows, thuggish personalities, hairy palms and a love of tescos value food. why on earth would you worry about a few dead people in the past?! :biggrin:
