While he was busy doing their “dirty work,” many citizens (that supported the death penalty) ... shunned the hangman as being not at all worthy of “their” company. From the book … Lord High Executioner: An Unashamed Look at Hangmen, Headsmen, and Their Kind … author … Howard Engel ... For nearly half a century, Calcraft was, in the public mind at least, the hangman of Britain. He had executed more people than anyone before or since. He made a quiet living, had been able to give up shoemaking altogether, and relied upon his “government work” to sustain him. He picked up a little from doing whippings through the streets and flogging in Newgate and elsewhere, and sold off the clothes the condemned wore to their deaths.
