William and Anne were resident at Stakers Farm, Southwater, Horsham.

Inventories were taken after the deaths of both William and Anne. They list a considerable amount of livestock and crops, including a team of four oxen. The valuation was approximately £150.

William, the youngest son inherited after his mother died.

Until the mid-nineteenth century the house was called Walders. When I visited in 2002 it was being renovated, a public footopath went right in front of the building and through the farmyard.

It was subsequently on the market at £1.7m and was now called Walders again.

My last visit found the footpath diverted and the buildings surrounded by high fencing and shrubbery with only the upper storey visible.
