The Yorkshire Giant

Whilst travelling around in the sunshine today, we stopped off in Market Weighton in the East Riding of Yorkshire. 
William Bradley, the Yorkshire Giant, was born at Market Weighton on the 10th February 1787.
He was the fourth son of a family of thirteen, who were all of normal build.
At the age of 20 he was an amazing seven feet and nine inches tall, and weighed 27 stones.
He died of TB on the 30th May 1820 at the young age of 33.
