hearsay:-  
 A G Bradley, 1910:-
"... possessed of the inconvenient disability of a public right-of-way through the centre, now presumably lapsed."
"But till a few years ago a venerable champion of popular rights, or perhaps merely a humorist with plenty of spare time, used to make an annual pilgrimage here, and walk in at the front door and out at the back without any ceremony."
