Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox criminal Alice Glaston (Шаблон:Circa – 13 April 1546) was an 11-year-old English girl from Little Wenlock who was hanged in Much Wenlock, Shropshire, England, under the reign of Henry VIII.[1][2][3] She is likely the youngest girl ever to be legally executed in England, though 8- or 9-year-old John Dean was hanged for arson in 1629.[3] The crime for which she was hanged is unknown, but it is speculated that she was accused of either murder or witchcraft.[4] She was hanged with two other people.[5] Sir Thomas Butler, vicar of Much Wenlock, records Glaston's burial at his church.[6]

In October 2014, writer Paul Evans released The Spirit Child, a speculative supernatural radio play about the events leading to her execution.[7]
