	Albert Pierrepoint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Albert Pierrepoint was born on 30 March 1905 at Clayton, Bradford, the middle child and eldest son of Henry and Mary Pierrepoint.
		It was agreed that Albert Pierrepoint would conduct the executions and on 11 December he flew to Germany for the first time to execute the eleven, plus two other Germans convicted of murdering an RAF pilot in the Netherlands in March 1945.
		Contrary to myth, Pierrepoint had no regrets about her execution — in fact it was one of the few times he spoke publicly about one of his charges, and he made it abundantly clear he felt she deserved no less.

		Henry quartered his troops in the fields outside Nottingham, and himself sought a night's repose at a mansion three miles away "beside the main road." This mansion has been conjectually identified with Holme Pierrepoint Hall.
		In 1495 Sir Henry Pierrepoint bequeathed "£20 to the making of Polleford brigge and the amending of the high way beside Holme to be wared upon theym by the discrecion of myne executors." He had made gifts to the parish church, which underwent much restoration or rebuilding then.
