The Cattle Plague outbreak of 1865-1867 killed around 10% of the country's population of cattle. During this time, there was also a large outbreak of cholera. A national day of prayer, or 'humiliation' was called on 7 March 1866 to pray for release from the situation.

And here's the baptism record of 'Guye Fawxe', son to Edward Fawxe. Taken from the parish register of St Michael le Belfrey which is held here at the Borthwick. He was baptised on the 16th April 1570.

1/ It’s been 10 years (😮) since we reported that #TB prevalence was twice as high in men as in women.
📢 Our new preprint explores how sex differences have shifted with more recent national prevalence surveys and growing attention to #gender responsive TB prevention and care.
