Peter the Wild Boy (fl. 1725 to February 1785) was a mentally handicapped boy from Hannover in northern Germany who was found in 1725 living wild in the woods near Hamelin. The boy, of unknown parentage, had been living an entirely feral existence, surviving by eating forest flora; he walked on all fours, exhibited uncivilized behaviour, and could not be taught to speak a language. Once found, he was brought to Great Britain by order of George I, whose interest in the unfortunate youth had been aroused during a visit to his Hanover homeland. Peter died 22 February 1785 and was buried in Northchurch.His grave can still be seen in the churchyard of St Mary's Church, Northchurch, directly outside the main door to the church. On 20th February 2013 it was announced by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport that the grave was to be given Grade II listing on the advice of English Heritage.
