BIG MAN.

On the 10th of December, 1741, died Mr. Henry Wanyford, late steward to

the earl of Essex. He was of so large a size, that the top of the hearse

was obliged to be taken off before the coffin could be admitted, and it

was so heavy, that the attendants were forced to move it along the

churchyard upon rollers.[410]
