Peter The Wild Boy

 

 Peter "The Wild Boy" was a feral child whop was "caught"  in a German forest and carted off to become a "pet" in the Court of George I in England in 1726. He became a celebrity of sorts and his grave in the churchyard of St Mary’s, Northchurch, near Berkhamsted  has now been given a Grade II listing......see all the details on this rather good site:
