Charles Michael Monro

Charles Michael Monro was found dead amongst some boulders on Cox Tor, a 1,400ft peak on Dartmoor near Tavistock on Tuesday 6 May 1952.

He was known to have taken in a pair of shoes to be repaired on the Monday, saying, 'Please have them done within 12 hours, I require them most urgently'. However, he never called for them and was found dead the following night on Cox Tor, 14 miles away from where he lived..
