Start of the water cut-off to the farmhouse and grounds, inferred from the 1958 statement of Mary (Nancy) Buckler née Williams that it had been cut off “for nearly 10 years by order of Western Ground Rents” (EV-0037, snippet only). Per Branwen Buckler (voice testimony), cattle drowned in the River Ely trying to reach water (testimony; no record found). Date conflict: SC-48.
