► Tales From The Past via powerful historical photos. THOMAS WEDDERS (WADHOUSE): ► Who was Thomas Wedders and why was he known as the man with the longest nose in recorded history? ► What kind of performer was Thomas Wedders and how did he entertain audiences with his unique appearance? ► What was the reaction of Thomas Wedders in relation to his extraordinary nose and did he use it for anything else? ► How long was Thomas Wedder’s nose? ► Was there a photograph of his long nose ever made in all its glory? In the 18th century, there lived a man by the name of Thomas Wedders, also known as Thomas Wadhouse. Born in Yorkshire, England, around 1730, Thomas was known for his extraordinary feature: his nose. It was said to measure an astonishing 7.8 inches in length (around 19cm), making it the longest nose in recorded history. Thomas was a performer in various circus sideshows in the mid-18th century, and his unusual appearance drew crowds from all over the country. However, beyond his unusual appearance, little is known about Wedders’s life. Articles of the period remarked that he appeared to be intellectually disabled (referring to him as “an idiot“) owing to an unknown condition, perhaps related to his unusual facial deformity. Despite this, Thomas was determined to make the most of his life, and he became a skilled performer, entertaining audiences with his unique appearance. People would travel from far and wide just to catch a glimpse of the man with the longest nose in history. Unfortunately, no cameras were available at the time to capture the image of Wedder’s nose in all its glory. However, in recent times, we may see his likeness in the shape of wax figures, particularly reproductions found at Ripley’s odditoriums. But, many people are asking the same question: Whether Wedders used his nose for anything else? Thomas Wedders passed away around 1780, in Yorkshire, at either 50 or 52 years of age. After his death, Guinness World Records gave him the posthumous title of “World’s Largest Nose.“ Despite the negative portrayal of Thomas Wedders by some contemporary sources, he should be remembered as an individual who lived his life with grace and dignity, embracing his unique feature and using it to entertain and inspire others.
