(C has been made into an O) and S.E.H, separated by central line. Lettering picked out in black is thought to be Wigton Above and Below the Cross; South End Hamlet. See T.W.

| hearsay:- |
It is suggested that WABC stands for Wigton Above and Below Cross. The suggestion
of survey ends here for SEH is not so credible, South East Highmore is an alternative
idea. |
|
| The building was a toll keeper's house. |
