The Gruesome Consequences of Rebellion: "These men were known to all in this village as they were surrounded by weeping relatives and friends. After the hangings came the gruesome dismemberment of the corpses and the burning of their entrails."— Bobbie Rammond

Haunting, Dark History of Dunster

Gallox Bridge is a picturesque medieval packhorse bridge, dating to the 15th century, which runs across the River Avill on the southern outskirts of Dunster. The Bridge formed part of the main transportation route to the wool market in Dunster from the South. The bridge's name originally meant 'gallows bridge,' for a public place of execution that stood on a hill just outside the village. In 1685, three men from Dunster, Henry Lackwell, John Geanes and William Sully were hanged at the gallows for their part in the Monmouth Rebellion.
