He kept a diary throughout his tenancy, in which he recorded the comings and goings of village life. The people of the time are brought vividly to life, such as Revd Holland's servant Charles, who might still have retained his employees favour after being caught with the parlourmaid, had he not compound his mischief by sodomizing the sheep.
