Geocache Description:

The cache contains log book and pencil and a few swops, but you may need a pen. My signature Caching badge is in the container for the TFT.

Gallows Wood is a small wood just outside the village of Barnetby and alongside the A18 Brigg road is the place where in the 17th Century a set of gallows was erected. The purpose of the gallows was to act as a deterrent to the two feuding families of the de Ros (of Melton Ross and the Tyrwhits of Kettleby. This feud had been going on for almost 300 years until James I ordered that a set of gallows be erected at the present location, with the instruction that any more deaths as a result of this feud be treated as murder and punishable by hanging. Good dog walking with good paths.
