July 24th 1951 Mr Wright of Posts Hall, Wickhambrook, had to go to the rescue of a young boy, Rolfe Pettitt, who was being attacked by three young stoats which were clambering up his legs when riding a bicycle at Ashfield Green. " I saw the lad get off his bike and hit out at something, I wondered what the matter was.I killed two stoats with my whip but the other got away, the boy was carrying a can of milk which may have attracted the animals, I have never seen anything like it before". The boy was unhurt. OUCHIE! |

May 16th 1821 Last week a disgraceful circunstance occurred at Sudbury when Henry Frost sold his wife (with the customary halter round her neck)to one Robert Whiting for 2s but the bargain being offensive to a number of females present they would have given the new bridegroom a summary chastisement had he not taken refuge in a cottage nearby but when they pursued him he was obliged to make his escape by jumping out of the chamber window. May 30th 1821 The wife of Henry Frost mentioned some time ago as having been sold to William Whiting for 1s 6d has returned to her husband with Whiting giving the husband 2 guineas to take her back just 2 of the great newspaper stories on http:/www(.)foxearth(.)org(.)uk sandra |
