Tomkins and Challoner, led to gallows, Holborn, London, 1643 (illustration)
" Scanned directly from Old and New London - Its History, its people and its places, published by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. 1878. Illustration of Tomkins and Challoner being led to the gallows. In the second year of the war between King and Parliament, the Royal successes at Bath, Bristol, and Cornwall, as well as the partial victory at Edgehill, had roused the party and chilled many adherents of the Puritans. The distrust of Pym and his friends soon broke out into a reactionary plot, in which Waller, the poet, was dangerously mixed up. The chief conspirators were Tomkins and Challoner, the former Wallers brother-in-law, a gentleman living in Holborn, near the end of Fetter Lane, and a secretary to the Commissioners of the Royal Revenues. Tomkins and Challoner were hung at the Holborn end of Fetter Lane in 1643."

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history, depicting the fateful journey of Tomkins and Challoner as they are led to the gallows in Holborn, London, in 1643. The image is scanned directly from "Old and New London - Its History, its people and its places" a renowned publication by Cassell, Petter, Galpin & Co. dating back to 1878. During this tumultuous period known as the English Civil War between King and Parliament, Royal successes at Bath, Bristol, Cornwall, and Edgehill had instilled confidence among their supporters while causing doubt among Puritan adherents. This atmosphere of distrust eventually gave rise to a reactionary plot involving key figures such as Waller the poet. However, it was Tomkins and Challoner who emerged as the chief conspirators. Tomkins was not only Waller's brother-in-law but also a respected gentleman residing near Fetter Lane in Holborn. Additionally serving as secretary to the Commissioners of the Royal Revenues added weight to his involvement in this treacherous scheme against Pym and his allies. The gravity of their actions ultimately led to their tragic fate—being hanged at the Holborn end of Fetter Lane—an event that would forever be etched into history. Through this evocative illustration captured over three centuries ago by an unknown artist for posterity's sake, we are reminded of how political tensions can drive individuals towards extreme measures with dire consequences.
