It turns out that the cross above Dovestones reservoir is a memorial to my Great whatever Uncle.

James Platt MP.

We was out hunting on the moor and his shotgun got caught in his clothing, he tripped, KA-BLAMMO! The cross marks the site where they found most of him.

This is his brother (my distant Grandad) John Platt.

Industrialist and MP.

Which begs the question... where did all the money go?

Simply wow. Great history. My Mum grew up in a large house and gardens. When her Dad died in the war, her Mother vanished everything went to pot.

I imagine the money went on Duck ponds and second homes expenses as back then you didn't get expenses..
