Jane Bunford (26 July 1895 – 1 April 1922)[1] was one of the tallest women ever measuring 2.41 metres (7 ft 11 in) at the time of her death (adjusted for spinal curvature).
While she was fairly tall for her age, her height wasn't unusual or exceptional before her accident at 5 ft 0 in.
[4] On her 21st birthday Bunford was measured at 2.39 metres (7 ft 10 in) tall, her peak standing height.
Mrs Booth said Bunford had to have her shoes specially made at Halesowen as she had size 17 feet.
[8] The funeral was held at St Michaels and All Angels Church, Bartley Green, on 5 April 1922.
[9] According to undertaker's records published in General Practitioner, her coffin was 2.50 metres (8 ft 2 in) long and was probably the longest ever used for a UK funeral.
