Baby

The body of a newly born child was found in the Coventry Canal at the rear of The Chantries on the afternoon of Saturday 22 April 1948.

A 79-year-old man who lived at The Chantries said that he was working in his garden when some small children called to him from the canal towpath and asked him to recover a 'doll' from the water. However, he found that it was the body of a male child.
