Is this why Waterton became known as an eccentric?
One thing just led to another. Squire Waterton as the people of Walton village
called him was the brunt of much conversation. Many stories were told of
the tricks that he played such as pretending to be a dog under a table. He liked
to demonstrate his agility by scratching the back of his ear with his big
toe. He was still climbing trees
when
he was over 80.
