Nicholas Wood,
Is thought worthy of a place among "Memorable persons" of Kent, by Fuller, though he can hardly be deemed one of her "Worthies." He was born at Halingborne—"a landed man and a true labourer." "He was afflicted with Boulimia, insomuch that he would devour at one meal what was provided for twenty men, eat a whole hog at a sitting, or thirty dozen pigeons." No wonder that the historian has to relate that "he died very poore" about the year 1630.
