1000 Cuts: a dated chronology, 1870s to 1988

A dated chronology of the Williams family’s position at Great House Farm in law and in fact, each step linked to its evidence.

1000 Cuts sets out the Williams family’s position at Great House Farm, in law and in fact, from the 1870s to 1988. Each entry gives a date, what happened, what it changed, and the evidence pages it rests on.

Every entry is graded by the strongest item it cites, from 1 (a record read in full) to 6 (research inference). Family testimony and open questions are marked as such.

It opens with John Williams of the Great House, for many years a juror of the Llandough manor court, which met in his house.
