Saint Julian's Norwich - 1819
"A grave was opened under peculiar circumstances in St. Julian’s churchyard, Norwich. A woman had died of small-pox, and was buried within 48 hours of her death. It was suspected that she had been buried alive, and the rumour was circulated that groans had been heard proceeding from the grave. On the body being exhumed a medical man pronounced life to be extinct."

Stephen Watson - West Bradenham
“About ten days back a starling’s nest, with young ones, was taken out of the breast of Watson, who hangs on a gibbet on Bradenham Common, near Swaffham, for the murder of his wife, which was witnessed by hundreds of people as something very singular and extraordinary.”
This is the same Stephen Watson found guilty for the murder of his wife. See 'Find a grave'
