sites when some villager wished to build a 

 cottage. In the event of a property falling in 

 it has been purchased in every case by a local 

 applicant, always at a profit to the seller over 

 and above his original price. Occasionally it 

 has been found convenient to let to a neighbour. 

 But the village farm is still, as it was in- 

 tended twenty years ago to be, a number of 

 small holdings occupied and cultivated by the 

 owners. The scheme was evolved to supply 

 the local demand of the village for small 

 holdings, and the following table, classifying 

 the present occupiers, will show how entirely 

 the properties have been kept in the hands of 

 the local community : 



Woodmen and trufflers ... 

 Bricklayers, mudwallers, labourers 

 Small-holders only 

 Shopkeepers 



Postmen ... 



Carrier ... 



Blacksmith 



Pensioner (returned) 



Keeper ... 



Schoolmaster 



Resident ... 



Sub-let (death or other causes)
