Name Alice Glaston | ||
Died 1545, Much Wenlock, United Kingdom | ||
Alice Glaston was an 11-year-old girl hanged in 1545 in Little Wenlock, Shropshire, England. She is likely the youngest girl ever to be hanged in England, though 8-year-old John Dean was hanged for arson in 1629. The crime for which she was hanged is unknown. In October 2014, writer Paul Evans released "The Spirit Child", a speculative supernatural radio play about the events leading to her execution.
