How did life change over the years at Walton Hall?
Back at Walton Hall the simple pattern of his life became increasingly fixed
and somehow more out of tune with those living around him. He divided his
day between caring for the estate, quiet study and devotion to God. At night
he retired to a room at the top of the house which was later described by
Norman Moore, a young friend he made in 1863. The room was "at once
Waterton's study, bird stuffing workshop, 
and
a bedroom, if bedroom it could be called when there was not any bed. The
Wanderer always slept on boards, wrapped up in a blanket. His pillow was
a block of oak . . ."
