OVERVIEW Combe gibbet was only used once in 1676: George Broomham and Dorothy Newman who were lovers were hanged for murdering Martha and Robert Broomham, George's wife and son, who had come across them together on the Downs. Their dead bodies were hung on either side of the Combe Gibbet to act as a grim deterrent to others. The gibbet standing today is in the same place but is not the original. |
