 The Avenging Bull of Chipping Sodbury
The market town of Chip­ping Sodbury was unfortunate in having a particularly bloodthirsty vicar-general called Doctor Whittington.
Almost as soon as he arrived in the area he made himself unpopular in the town by condemning a highly­ respected citizen, named John Piggot, to be burnt at the stake just because he would not stand up in church and publicly renounce his Protestant beliefs.
In Chipping Sodbury Doctor Whittington needed another victim to placate his masters and he vindictively chose, as a scapegoat, a poor woman who had no family.
