On this day young Ruth Pierce and three friends got together to buy a sack of wheat. Each paid up, but Ruth held back. Insisting that she had paid her share, she said “may I drop dead if I have not”. She repeated this awful wish then fell down and died, with the money hidden in her hand. This story is recorded on a stone monument in the Market Square at Devizes, Wiltshire, England.
