Heavitree
Heavitree is a district of Exeter, Devon, England, and currently one of the wards for elections to the City Council. Its name is thought to derive from heafod treow (old English for "head tree"), which refers to a tree that either served as a neutral meeting place for Saxon kings, or as a convenient place for hanging criminals.
