  1. My Grandmother told me that our Landlord was Mr Blake. He was very good to his tenants, he never saw them in want, even the rich and poor people that went to him for anything, he never refused them.
    Mr Blake never evicted any of his tenants. Before he died he sold his land to the land Commision.
    All his sisters and brothers died very young. He was buried with his wife and family in a vault in his own property.
