"THE POISONING CASE AT OLD WHITTINGTON "

Found this whilst scouring the newspapers. A very sad incident taken from Derbyshire Times 5 January 1887. 
John Meakin was buried in Old Whittington churchyard, by order of the Coroner, as you can see from the Parish register entry (supplied by Elizabeth Pemberton).  The parish register suffered fire damage but luckily the entry can still be read.
