Born in Maisey Hampton, the deceased came under public notice by carrying out the duties of rural postman between Cricklade and Poulton. These duties he carried out for many years at a time when such journeys were done only on foot. Besides his work as postman, his energies were also directed to various other walks in life, notably as colt-breaker, as sportsman, and likewise in the hunting field [2 sons, 2 daughters, 9 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren.
