Northernhay Gardens, Exeter Also in the grounds of Rougemont Gardens, just opposite the gatehouse is Rougemont House, built by John Patch, an Exeter surgeon in the 1700's. It was later changed to a more regency style architecture by Edmund Granger in 1810. The building was purchased by Exerer City Council in 1911, and is currently used as a Discovery Centre.
A plaque near the gatehouse reminds us of the times of witchcraft and hangings in the late 1600's. Executed in Exeter after being found guilty for witchcraft were Temperance Floyd, Mary Trembles and Susanna Edwards on 18th August 1682. Susanna and Mary wept on the way to the gallows while Temperance apparently did not seem to care. In 1685 Alice Molland was the last execution for witchcraft in England. 1 2 3 4 |
