the wall at the S.S.W. end. A table-lamp fell towards

Peldon Mill, south-east of the village, on the Mersea Road,
opposite the " Rose " Inn, and the adjoining buildings, were
considerably damaged, the upper part of Mrs. Went's house
having been choked up with brickwork and debris on the

rebuilt. The inmates described the sensation as being
thrown against the walls, and inducing a clinging to anything
for support." Glass and crockery was thrown down and
broken, bedsteads, piano and furniture moved about 9 inches
