The Lost Coach - a local story
Loading...
A story of a stagecoach lost in a blizzard in the late 17th century. The story was told by the Rev. Lee of Broughton whose quest for peaty soil for the rectory garden was the cause of its discovery “some 100 years” later. His story is recorded in the Glossop family history.
Ann Tomkins nee Glossop married into the Tomkins family, a notable Broughton family.
The attached press cutting dated December 2008 makes reference to a blizzard in southern England in 1836, and the heroism of postboys in delivering the mail in such conditions.
