Thanks Jeff. An interesting photo and story. I guess this family moved on to Upleadon at some point

Tragedy of Elderly Woman Near Newent

Sophia NUNN, aged 72, who lived alone at The Maples, Upleadon, near Newent, was found dead this morning at the bottom of a 30ft well. The discovery was made at 10 o’clock after a postman had called at the house with a letter. He could get no answer and remarked upon that unusual circumstance to Mr Joseph EVANS, a blacksmith, who also lives in Hooks Lane.

Mr EVANS decided to investigate and went to the house, where he also failed to get any answer. On going to the back of the house he discovered that the top was off a well near the door, and on looking down he saw the body at the bottom.
