Belchamp Walter Census 1891

The references to Belchamp Walter and the Census of 1891 are taken from the Foxearth Historical Society archive.

My interest in this census relates to the possible residents of Munt Cottage and any dwellings that were close to it in 1891. There are 5 or 6 cottages that are cited in the Census, as far as is known Munt Cottage is the only surviving, however, Hall Cottage may have been renamed, the others demolished or fallen down.
