In 1793 T. J. Woodward and Dr. Goodenough published in 
the Linnaean Transactions, Vol. III., “ Observations on the 
British Fuci” with frequent references to Cromer and Yarmouth. 1 " 
On February 1st, 1802, Dr. Goodenough writes from Windsor 
to Dr. Smith “ What is Dawson Turner about ? He is very 
often applying to me. I have hinted to him that Woodward, 
his neighbour, knows all that I do, still he writes to me. He 
talks of a work on Fuci.” 51 
At the end of 1801, or quite early in 1802, the Woodwards 
removed to Walcot Hall, one mile north of Diss in Norfolk. 
Mrs. Woodward had relatives at Diss. He writes to Dr. 
Smith : — “ I think you will allow that rambling about one’s 
own fields and seeing one’s own crops growing and cattle 
grazing is pleasanter than lounging about the streets of 
Bungay.” 
He continued to improve the Walcot estate, for on January 
16th, 1804, he orders trees to be sent by the Diss carrier from 
Mackie’s nursery ground outside St. Stephen’s Gate at Norwich. 
Woodward only regrets that by residing at Walcot he is further 
from Mr. Turner at Yarmouth. In 1811 he writes: — “I so 
seldom see Dawson Turner since my removal from Bungay.” 87 
During the scare at the probability of a French invasion, 
Volunteers from all parts of Norfolk took turns at garrison 
duty at Yarmouth. Mr. Woodward took an active part as 
Captain of the Diss Volunteer Company of Infantry. On 
December 22nd, 1803, we see him on horseback taking his 
troop to Yarmouth for a fortnight’s duty. Being very wet 
weather the men took three days for their outward march, but 
in frosty weather the return was accomplished in two days. 
He writes to Dr. Smith “ I saw a great deal of Turner, 
spent most of my evenings at his house, and those of the 
Turner family, and a great comfort it was, and the more so, as 
not a soul except the Turner family took any notice of us, 
though I as well as Captain Powell of the Buckenhams, who 
married D. Turner’s sister, was known to all the Corporation 
and many others in the place. I must, however, except Mrs. 
Manclarke (who is, I believe, known to you), as she very
