Sneaky's Daily Did You Know....? - Barking Mad
Following a series of disagreements with the Church in the 1930s, Rev. Harold "Jumbo" Davidson, rector of Stiffkey in Norfolk, found an unusual platform on which to air his grievances.

Even his funeral was unconventional, his widow choosing to dress all in white, except for black shoes.
