Sudden death – On the 28th
September 1864, a man respectably dressed,
between 50 and 60 years of age, stayed at the Oak Tap, a low
lodging-house in this town, and went to bed apparently well. Not making
his appearance on the Friday morning, the landlady went into his room
and found him but just alive. Mr Candler was speedily with him, but he
died without exhibiting any signs of consciousness within about an hour,
from apoplexy, there was nothing on his person to give any clue as to
what his name was or where he came from and on Saturday afternoon “the
stranger” was interred in Redenhall Churchyard
