Turn left off West End Lane into Lawyer's Lane until you come to the junction with Hollands Lane - the gate to the fine, medieval farmhouse of Buckwish is in front of you. The occupant in 1851 was 32-year old agricultural labourer John Cutress and his wife Sarah, together with nephew George Emsby. In 1901 the occupant was 46-year old William Tuppin, described as a pensioner, together with his wife and nephew. The other household at Buckwish was Samuel Browning, a 38-year old farm carter with his wife and 9 children.
