Something a little different - but the same. I filmed stuff while I went out for a ride and spoke to the camera - that's all @Ben Deakin and @Sam Pilgrim do? ????

It is said, that as Walter was being lead to the gallows he saw a horseman approaching in the distance and pleaded with his executioners to wait in case he may be pardoned. They didn’t, and Walter Leader was duly dispatched. Minutes after his death the horseman arrived and with much haste demanded Leaders reprieve. As it turned out, one of the gang members had got in to a quarrel with the others and decided to turn ‘King's Evidence’ at Bath. A horseman had been immediately dispatched, with orders to relinquishing Walter Leader from his crime, unfortunately for Walter the news arrived a tad too late.

The Cherhill Gang was a notorious group of highway men who operated in the 18th century on the London to Bath main road (A4) which passes through the village – they were noted for their robbery technique of attacking the carriages of rich Londoners while completely naked, thus shocking passengers into handing over their money and also making it harder to identify them. A painting depicting one such attack can be seen in the Black Horse pub, on the A4 main road in the village.
