Who was Hannah Twynnoy?
Hannah Twynnoy is the first person to have been killed by a tiger in Britain, as attested to by a formal contemporary source.
Twynnoy, by repute and according to a memorial plaque now lost, was an early 18th-century barmaid working in The Lion Pub in the centre of the English market town of Malmesbury in Wiltshire.
All that remains from the time to corroborate the narrative of her death is her gravestone, in a corner of the churchyard of Malmesbury Abbey.
