Baby

The body of a newly-born child was found in a pond on Hangman's Hill near Bidborough Corner.

The child was found by an engine driver that was drawing water from the pond on the Friday morning at 7am. He said that he noticed a brown paper parcel just on the edge of the water and pulled it out. He said that he then cut the string and undid the parcel and found that it contained the body of a child.
