A 6.5 mile circular walk around Wickham Market in Suffolk to take in the spooky sights of Potsford Gibbet
Jonah Snell was reputedly the last man to be 'hung in chains' at Potsford Gibbet in 1699 as decreed by the cracked plaque that is affixed to the decaying post which is all that remains of the gibbet. His ghost is said to haunt the area and the hill up to the location of the Gibbet is still locally known as Dragarse Hill after he was dragged by his arse up the hill to the gibbet for his part in the grizzly murders carried out at Letheringham Mill.
