Bowls Barrow Bustard Given By Tom Silcox To Harold Nelson Dewey

From a list of items in Harold Nelson Dewey’s diaries 1919-1947 (list made by Percy Trollope):

Friday 17th February 1933 (uncertainty about this date – needs checking?)

Mr. Tom Silcox, Avenue School teacher, gave Mr. H.N. Dewey, the Great Bustard shot at Bowles Barrow circa 1867.”

Percy Trollope remarks that this bustard is now in the Dewey Museum.
