Good Afternoon All

Had this sent to me by a relative,from our family folklore.

Not sure if there is any truth to the story.

Any ideas please.

Do you have any info/clues about "Sheepskin"? A character(in the family but not sure which branch) who reputedly blew up Blakeney police station with a barrel of black powder he pinched out of the mine in revenge for them trying to nail him for sheep stealing, got his nickname for nailing a sheep's skin to the front door of the police station before he blew it up.
