Frank Claydon, son of William John Claydon spoke of his grandmother Charlotte saying that after Joseph's death she continued to live in Vine Cottage and took in washing for a living, as there were children to bring up. It was their job to collect the dirty linen and return it clean, borrowing the donkey and cart from Mr George Hawes at the back of The Black Horse for the longer journeys such as the Rectory at Saunderton. see Frank & Maud Claydon for more of Frank's story.
