Today we heard all about EDWARD BRIGHT, a grocer who lived in Maldon from 1721 to 1750. By the time of his death he was reputed to be the fattest man in England, topping the scales at some 47 and a half stone (302 kilos).
His waistcoat was so huge that it became the subject of a wager that it could accommodate no less than 700 men simultaneously. To hear who won the bet, listen again here: – Essex Tales 17th December
