Village History - Vandalism

A piece from The Blandford Weekly News June 2 nd 1888.

Charlton Marshall. Garden Robberies. The cottage gardens and allotments in this village have already this season been visited and despoiled of part of the produce by parties who have no right thereto, early plots of cabbage being an especial attraction to these depredators. The well-kept flower beds, abutting the main road, which is an attraction to every passer-by, have also been despoiled by dishonest persons after nightfall. Suspicion rests on certain individuals in the latter matter, and one more spoilation of flowers will be followed by retribution.
