Summary
| Description |
English: en:John Horwood (1803–1821) was a miner's son convicted of murder in Bristol, England, and executed 13 April 1821. After his death, he was dissected by Dr Richard Smith.
Smith kept the skeleton at his home until his death, when it was passed to the Bristol Royal Infirmary and later to Bristol University. His skeleton was retained, and most recently was kept hanging in a cupboard at Bristol University with the noose still around its neck. Horwood's skeleton was eventually buried alongside his father on 13 April 2011 at 1.30 pm at Christchurch, Hanham, exactly 190 years to the hour after he was hanged. The funeral was arranged by Mary Halliwell, the great-great-great-granddaughter of Horwood's brother. The coffin was draped in velvet and carried on a wheeled bier in the manner of elegant funerals of the period of his death. |
