About Elizabeth Jeffries

The execution of Elizabeth Jeffries and John Swan took place on 28 March 1752 at Epping Forest, on a hill overlooking Walthamstow. They had both been sentenced to death on 9 March, with Swan found guilty of petty treason and Jeffries of murder, both for the same crime of killing Jeffries' uncle, who had threatened to revoke her inheritance of his estate after she had become his mistress. The execution is notable for dubious records of Jeffries's in-depth written correspondence with similar murderer Mary Blandy while in jail, the sensationalism surrounding the conviction and execution, and the fact that Swan was hung in chains after death.
