Dec. 12, 1955 - Vicar Wears Noose In Pulpit: The Congregation at St. John's Church, Seven Kings, Ilford, were startled last night when the Rev. John Stone put a noose around his neck. They were even more so when he said: If you had your just desserts now, all of you would have your feet kicking. So would I. It was their vicar's way of criticizing the death penalty and urging them to write to their M.P.'s in protest at capital punishment. I feel desperately strongly about this. Photo shows the Rev. John Stone with the noose around his neck seen preaching at St. John's Church, Ilford, last night
