Hello everyone
I have been given a reference of the "Northamptonshire Giant" said to be James Rowlatt (Rowlett) of Tansor. He was said to be 7foot tall and was buried at Tansor aged 69 on 17th Jan 1870.
Is there any newspaper reports achived that gives more details.?

Any other info would be grateful.

Thanks in advance
