Thomas Woolley of Greave Fold met his end in a thunderstorm on 23 May 1850.

His gravestone rather dramatically records that he was killed:

”…by the Electric Fluid in a thunder storm.”

19th-century weather forecasting was clearly a little more exciting. ⚡️ #history #grave #lightning #strangedeath
