How Sheepstor villagers hung a man for bringing cholera
In 1832, a group of cottagers died after cholera came into their family in a strange fashion. When a wealthy merchant and his family died of the disease in Plymouth, two thieves raided their home in search of valuables.
On the run from police, one fled to Sheepstor, posing as a wealthy man in order to gain shelter with a family. Cholera spread to the family and the people of Sheepstor hunted down and hung the thief for bringing sickness to their village.
