See HAPTON HOLE. In 1904 Edward Everitt (then at Aslacton Bell) took action in court against Daniel Grey. It was to recover the sum of £6/15/10 being the valuation of trees, fruit and rose bushes etc.
The sum had been agreed by valuers Borrett for Everitt and the late
Standley for Grey at the time of the latter taking over the house in 1902.

His Honour found in favour of the plaintiff for the full amount plus costs.

It is probably Anna Gray with the serving jug and
H. Smith, Rat Catcher seems singled out for special attention.

(Anna Grey was the mother of Mrs. (Joseph William) Brown at the ROYAL OAK, St. Augustines, Norwich.)
