In 1703, Hannah Twynnoy became Britain's first recorded victim of a tiger.
Her grave stone, in Malmesbury Abbey has the epitaph:
In bloom of life, She's snatched from hence, She had not room to make defence;
For Tyger fierce, Took life away, And here she lies, In a bed of clay, Until the Resurrection Day.
