B. cetoides, Museo Nacional de Historia Natural, Washington DC.
Skeleton of a basilosaurus cetoides in the Sant Hall of Oceans in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. It is the only genuine specimen currently exhibited anywhere in the world. In proportion to its body size, Basilosaurus cetoides had extremely small - 2 foot (0.6 m) long hind limbs which had limited mobility, and could only assume 2 positions: against the body, or belly. Scientists believe the limbs were used during sex, to help grasp the female.

The steam frigate 'Firebrand' part of the Experimental Squadron
English: The steam frigate 'Firebrand' and the Experimental Squadron of 1844 Inscribed: “H.M. Steam Frigate Firebrand and the Experimental Squadron”. Various Experimental Squadrons were at sea in 1844-6 testing new technology. ‘Firebrand’ served as the commanding umpire’s vessel in the one sent out from Portsmouth in 1844. They departed Spithead on 22 October, ‘Firebrand’ leading eight newly-designed sailing brigs, sailed to Portugal, and returned to Devonport on 6 December. Here, ‘Firebrand’ is shown centrally in starboard-broadside view, under steam but with clewed-up sails on her foremast, and surrounded by her brig complement in various positions, the whole set out of sight of land in a fresh breeze. There are men in her shrouds, and she is signalling (blue-yellow-blue-yellow-blue horizontal from her foretop; red-white-blue vertical, red-white quartered, and white-blue vertical from her main). The overall impression is that manoeuvres are taking place. 'Firebrand' was a paddle frigate built in 1842 and sold in 1864. She appears in several drawings in the sketchbook of Captain George Pechell Mends (PAI0868 verso, PAI0873 and PAI0882) as part of the Mediterranean Fleet. In the first two of these she is shown towing major sailing vessels. [PvdM 2/12] Hand-coloured. H.M. steam Frigate Firebrand and the Experimental Squadron

James Whitaker Wright (9 February 1846 – 26 January 1904) was a company promoter and swindler, who committed suicide at the Royal Courts of Justice in London immediately following his conviction for fraud. Interesting this newspaper reported he died of heart problems, which was either initial speculation or polite avoidance of mentioning suicide? This is a drawing from a newspaper article about his death after the verdict in his case.

A wooden sculpture formerly opposite the church but now removed
English: Childe of Hale. John Middleton was born in Hale in 1578, a normal and healthy baby of humble peasant stock. Middleton grew to a height of nine feet and three inches (2.8m), so tall it is said, that he had to sleep with his feet sticking out of the window of his tiny cottage. Because of his "formidable appearance" Middleton was employed as a bodyguard by a local landlord called Gilbert Ireland. In 1617 on his way back from Scotland King James I (King James VI of Scotland) stopped to knight Ireland and in doing so heard of his gigantic protector. Both master and servant were invited to visit the king's court and a fine outfit of purple, red and gold was specially made for Middleton. In London John beat the king's champion wrestler and in doing so broke the man's thumb. Embarrassed by the defeat and displeased with the amount of money many of his subjects had lost in betting on the match, James sent the Childe home with the substantial amount of twenty pounds for his troubles. Unfortunately, jealous of his wealth and taking advantage of his apparently slow wits, Middleton's companions mugged him on the journey back to Hale. John Middleton returned to the village penniless and remained there until he died in 1623.It is recorded that the Childe and his master visited Brasenose College Oxford (Ireland was himself, a graduate and senior member of the college) where Middleton had his portrait painted. The fact that there are only three portraits of Middleton in existence and that two remain at the college shows not only that he was there, but also that he was enough of a celebrity to warrant such attention. In fact Brasenose rowing club's first eight still wear the "Childe of Hale colours" of purple, yellow and red in honour of their visitor. Further evidence can be found in the diary of Samuel Pepys who wrote about seeing the painted outline of the Childe's hand (which remains to this day) at the college. The photograph is not of a statue but a tree trunk carved to size of the "Childe" which was formerly found opposite St Mary's church in Hale where he is buried.
