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.
The portion of the census that I refer (Munt Farm & Cottages):
Other Names
There are a lot more names on the census that relate to Belchamp Walter. Above I have featured names that are associated with Munt Cottage.
While I initially intended to just investigate the names related to Munt Cottage, there are names that are relevant to the Village history in general. I do not wish to re-post the 1891 census in its entirety, that is done by Foxearth, as presented it is not really of much help.
