watching a doc on tudor britain and there’s a pub built on an execution site where people once burnt to death

and you know what? there’s even a beer garden on the spot and a cute little hanging sign depicting people consumed by flames like the snuggly duck tavern sign in tangled

#the best of britain here with suzannah lipscomb #its like that tik tok on us tv shows being like ‘someone died here?!!’#and europeans being surprised if someone didn’t #if we didn’t build on graves and battlegrounds we couldn’t build at all #but yeah this specific pub is wild even by uk standards #lollards pit in norfolk #for anyone wondering #CO posts #co speaks #history
