The inquest into the murders of Louisa Frost, ten weeks old, Eliza Frost, 18 months, Charlotte Frost, three years and Harriet Frost five years old, was held here, Tuesday 8th April 1844. Their father, William Frost, admitted that he had killed all four the previous day in their house at Whitwell. His occupation was said to be a Tanner but he had previously been a member of a sect called the `Revivalists' or Primitive Methodists and had acted as a preacher.
