Flower

13.7.1796 dine at Sewell with Flower & Copland

The GD website codes this to Benjamin Flower, as far as I can tell, simply on the basis of the surname. Flower was a fairly common surname among Norfolk farmers. See Sewell, Benjamin and Copland, John Dawson

Peasant (Caston)

Submitted by edpope on

13.7.1796 drive with Copland to Caston : Peasant

This was a long drive, Caston is 30 miles from Dalling, it's near Thetford and right next to Thompson where Colonel William Harwood inherited a property. They also must have driven back as Godwin supped at Dalling. I can find no record of an inn at Caston known as the Peasant. Peasant does occur as a surname but is rare. For Copland see Copland, John Dawson. See also Sewll, Bartholomew, and Flower

Although Philip Taylor DNB 1786-1870 civil engineer was ten years old, these names don't fit his brothers John, Richard, Edward and Arthur, but they do fit the brothers of John Taylor DNB 1750-1826, Philip b1747, Meadows b1755, Samuel b1757 and Thomas b1758, particularly if Meadows by nickname or Godwin's mistake was noted as Morris.
