Tattersall Wilkinson

Owd Tat, also known as 'the Sage of Roggerham', was born into a family of hand-loom weavers in 1825. He was the youngest of 21 children. Despite limited education he became a keen astronomer - he lived to see Halley's Comet twice - and historian, recording tales of Worsthorne in newspaper articles and lectures.
