Saw point


On his orders, Stalbridge House was taken down by the Earl of Uxbridge. This is the actual saw used to amputate the Earl of Uxbridge’s leg at the battle of Waterloo. Plus the bloody gloves used by his surgeon. The earl sounds like a cool customer, he merely remarked that the saw was ‘somewhat blunt’!
