Saved from the gallows: The tale of Amos Gilbert

It's 1830 and an uprising among agricultural workers called the Swing Riots is taking place across the east and south of England.
Amos Gilbert, a farm labourer from Bourne, becomes an unwitting accomplice in a crime committed by his brother-in-law.
He is found guilty and sentenced to hang, but as Patrycja Boryka finds out, Amos' life was spared - at a heavy personal cost to him.
