The 1862 Grand National was the 24th renewal of the Grand National horse race that took place at Aintree near Liverpool, England, on 12 March 1862.[1]
The race was marred by the only recorded human fatality in the history of the race when Jame's Wynne suffered chest injuries from which he died hours after the race.[2]
