You're probably the first writer on this website (apart from your truly) to ponify the work of M.R. James.

If I've read this correctly you've incorporated references to further ghost stories of his: namely Number 13, The Treasure of Abbot Thomas and Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You.

Thanks, I also see that you saw the Easter eggs I had in the story, well, almost all of them.

Was there one to 'A View from a Hill' or.... (goes to check his copy of Collected Ghost Stories) A Neighbour's Landmark; perhaps one from Martin's Close.

The Ash trees on the mound is a small nod to the story "The Ash Tree"

Sorry. I was focusing on the execution story and the apparition in the graveyard.

I'll say this: you definitely put a lot of thought and hard work into the story. That being said, I noticed several spelling errors throughout, but I'm not too keen on my old grammar nazi ways. I can point you in the direction of a spellchecker, if you'd prefer?
