Beheading as a form of execution gradually declined in Britain during the 19th century, with the last public execution by beheading taking place in 1868. The practice was officially abolished in 1973 with the repeal of the death penalty for murder in the UK. While beheading was historically used for high-profile criminals, it was replaced by hanging and other forms of execution before the death penalty was ultimately phased out altogether.
