The account of the history of the White Horse, Priors Dean, given in Edward Thomas's notes for his poem "Up in the Wind", is difficult to reconcile with the census record of the Brown family who were the publicans at that time. The hearsay story, that the publican died by drowning (possibly suicide) in a water tank at the pub, is also difficult to square with the census record. Does anyone have any relevant information?
