Here is an interesting film from the series A Little Bit of History. I had never heard of Robert - so who was he? He towered over brothers and sisters that were well over six foot, so how tall was he? How much did he weigh? After a brief career in the Royal Navy he joined the circus and had some very distinguished admirers but who were they? He then journeyed to the United States, but whose famous circus did he join? And in which Norfolk village is he buried? To find out the answers to these questions and more related information please select the following link, you can play the film by selecting the play button (you may need to move the red bar back to the start):
