Odd Laws and a Grim Tale From Shrewsbury Manorial Notes
A fragmentary extract recounts medieval statutes taxing widows and burgesses, with guards for a hunting lord and fines for burnt houses. It also tells of Thomas Elke of Shropshire, who hired a boy to lure his nephew to a field, murdered him by pond, fled toward London, and was captured after ravens guided pursuers. Elke was executed and hung in chains on Knockinheath.
