William Conquest Turland by John Warner (Cover)

This song appears on John & Margaret Walter's 1997 album 'Who Was Here?'.

William Turland owned the Prince of Wales in Young in 1866. Young was previously called Laming Flat and is about an hour's drive from where I live.

There is a small amount about William on this page, saying he came from Leicestershire in 1851:

This article suggests you can still visit the Turland graves at Grenfell (about 40 minutes from Young).

The tune is based on Stan Roger's 'Scarborough Settler's Lament':

I think this might be the saddest folk ballad I've ever sung.
