Buckenham

And one of the things that comes out of the records of Star Chamber are cases of gentry beating their poorer neighbors for failing to show sufficient deference to them.

There's a case from Norfolk, from Buckenham, where, uh, the Nivets, Sir Henry Nivet, um, who's the local lord, is being sued by a poorer neighbor in a land dispute, and N- Nivet takes his mace and beats this man about the head with his mace.

So the guy's, he's, he's bleeding from Nivet's assault on him, and he goes to the village constable and says, "S- Sir Henry Nivet's just beaten me up with a mace." And the constable sort of says, "Well, you know, that's the Nivets.

They're just like that.

This broad is also much affected by the tide as, notwithstanding its distance from the river, there are numerous connecting dykes permitting easy flow and reflow of water.

Back in the yacht again, we reach Buckenham Ferry, ten and a half miles by river from Norwich, a favorite angling rendezvous with a railway station of the same name close by.

A long row of trees on the left bank is the cause of daily trouble to wherrymen and sailormen as it shuts off the wind.

The man who plants trees by the side of a navigable river where the navigation depends upon the wind is the very reverse of a benefactor to mankind, and only selfishness or thoughtlessness can permit such an act.

The fishing is very good both up and down the river, and there are good boats for hire for fishing purposes.

The river now becomes very wide and deep, and the shoals near the banks, which abound in the higher reaches, are not so frequent.

I would call the especial attention of the river authorities to the disgraceful state of the river as far as Buckenham Ferry.

Each year, the shoals and weeds increase, and the channel narrows until in some places not more than a third of the river width is available for the navigation.
