Daniel Lambert (1770-1809) was one of the heaviest British people of all time. At his largest, he weighted 330kg and measured 2.8m round his body and 94cm round his leg. Lambert used to charge visitors to his house a shilling (five pence) just to look at him.
Daniel Lambert he died in 1809, it took 34m of elm of elm planking to make his coffin, which looked like a gigantic packing case. A window and part of the wall of his house had to be removed to get the coffin out, and it had to be mounted on wheels to trundle it to the cemetery.
