Once he was dead his penis and testicles were cut off, but there is very little known as to size...

However, he did not die due to being hung.

Over to you Andy...

He was sentenced for treason and was meant to be hung, drawn, and quartered.

While climbing to the hanging platform, however, he jumped from the ladder and broke his neck, dying instantly. This meant he managed to avoid the horrors of having his testicles cut off, his stomach opened and his guts spilled out before his eyes...

His body was subsequently quartered, and his remains were sent to "the four corners of the kingdom" as a warning to others.

OK how about this one.

As far as I know there are two London Heritage Plaques commemorating fictional characters, can you name them?

Paddington Bear?

Interesting it was not what I was looking for, Paddington Bear does have a Green Plaque at the Paddington station but I can find no evidence that it is a London Heritage plaque. Strangely Paddingtons creator Michael Bond does not have a plaque himself.

The other one I am looking for is a genuine Heritage Plaque
