Shocking Death of a Plough Jagger in the Snow: Notes
I.T.Jones Collection,
Written 1983, Ref.L6-1
The Retford & Gainsborough Times (1887a) describes an inquest
held at the Butcher's Arms Inn, West Halton on 11/1/1887
into the death of Henry Fowler while out plough jagging. He was
found in the snow next morning on the road between Burton Stather
and Alkborough.
Coroners' inquests for the Kirton district are deposited at the
County Archives at Lincoln Castle but are closed to public inspection
for 100 years after the date of the inquest. The 1881 census for
Alkborough has no record of Henry Fowler or Albert Henry Robinson,
a witness at the inquest. No record could be found in the
Lincolnshire Chronicle in 1887. Write to the Butcher's Arms in
West Halton to see if they know anything of inquests held there.
