Mary Ann Rowing died 1900 in Norfolk A large number of papers relating to the death and estate of Miss Mary Ann Rowing of Norfolk. A brief reading of the documents reveals that Mary Ann lived at Hackford in a house “in a very sad state of repair.” She may have died in an accident and was buried at Deopham on 10 October 1900. Her niece Alice Fenwick was heir and she erected a memorial stone in her aunt’s memory. The plate and furniture were auctioned on 10 November and the property in June 1901. Alice’s sister was Mrs B. Page, Attleborough.
