DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted November 2, 2006 Hannah Hauxwell. She was made famous in TV programmes about her simple farming life in the Yorkshire Dales. I assumed she'd died years ago, but it appears not. Anyone know her date of birth? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,647 Posted November 2, 2006 Owld Hannah I think she was born on August 1st 1926, making her 80 at present. Don't underestimate the life-prolonging benefits of running a large farm alone without electricity or running water. She'll mebbe see 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought she was much older than that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinegar Tits 606 Posted November 3, 2006 Hannah Hauxwell. She was made famous in TV programmes about her simple farming life in the Yorkshire Dales. Ooh, now if you think Jane Tomlinson's a fraud, you should hear what's been said (and in the YTV buildings an' all) about Ms Hauxwell. Opinion is decidedly split about that one and make no mistake.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted August 3, 2011 Anything the wrong side of Taunton is Up North to me. Can I suggest Hannah Hauxwell? My late father was a fan. I can't quite remember why. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted December 30, 2014 I'd been planning to include Hannah Hauxwell on my list, for no other reason than I had this really vivid dream several months ago that she walked out of her house one night, got lost and froze to death in the snow. Upon further reflection, I've decided to drop her from the squad, but thought I would mention it here, just in case she's in the headlines in the next couple of months having been found encased in ice on a snowy hillside, up in the Dales. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome. I was researching it for Hares Death Pool a few months ago and couldn't find any info on her from very recently. Remembered it while reading this, should've googled first. Even reports on forums she'd already died. Good to know she's still around. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I apologise for sounding like a broken record here, and I'm really not having a go at anyone (especially not the DDP organisers), but two ITV obits and a BBC one not being Qualifying obits makes the DDP more of a mockery than any B-team or dodgy pick, imo of course. I didn't get the push to get the local pages removed in 2015, it didn't remove the dodgy picks, they will always move to AN Other QO because journalists love playing at deadpools. It zapped a bunch of the fascinating Other Lives types instead. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
