LOW'S WORK
The name given by the Town Clerk has been adopted, as it appears to be correct.
He states that in many old documents (such as those quoted above) Low's, is written
Lowis, as the Apostrophe was not then used to denote the possessive case. He further adds
that Low's Work is the mode adopted in all the town documents for the last 50 years.
