Open research question
When did the English elm at the northwest corner of the park first become publicly known as the “Hangman's Elm,” and how did the unsupported execution tradition develop?
A source, research note, or further-reading link closes this question when staff accept it. Evidence and corrections stay attached for staff and do not close it by themselves.
Staff review every contribution before it is added to the file. A correction is a proposal: accepting it does not replace the official record. Rejected items are handled like rejected case submissions.
