The Duel
In 1827 there was a duel on Lord's Meadow, which is the large field near the site of the old Pixham Ferry. The duelists were John Somerset Russell (later John Pakington), who later became Secretary of State for War, and J. Parker, the Master of the Worcestershire Hounds. They were arguing over a quarrel they had while hunting. Both their shots missed, and the seconds persuaded them to make up.
