White Watson, of Bakewell. 
“An Account how the Giant's Tooth was found.” 
“ As they was sinking to find lead oar upon a hill att Bawlee, 
within two miles of Wirksworth, in the Peake, about the year 
1663, they came to an open place as large as a great church, 
found the skeleton of a man standing against the side, rather 
declining. They gave an account that his braine-pan would have 
held two strike of corn, and that it was so big they cou’d not 
get it up the mine they had sunk without breaking it ; being my 
grandfather, Robert Mower, of Woodseats, in the County of 
Derby, had a part of the above said mine, they sent him this 
toothe, with all the tines of it intire, and weighed 4 pound 3

teeth and bones of a horse, and many entire bones from the legs
