Then on 3 October 1821, the Bury and Norwich Post auctioned the contents: “comprising 6 very capital cart mares and geldings, 2 colts, 6 fat bullocks, 32 head of swine; 2 waggons, 5 tumbrils, luggage cart, harness, corn-dressing machine, patent chaff-cutting engine with 4 knives, ploughs, harrows, &c. Also an assortment of Household Furniture.” [14]
