I dont know if these are organisers of the Leek Show or 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th winners.
I am not sure but think 'A' & 'E' could be Lawsons.
Help wanted please

The Lawson's did not live in the village during this time.

Thanks for the info Alison.
I should have checked to see if Lawson's were there at the time.
I found these 5 Farmers in Monkton in the 1890s.
Dixon Joseph, farmer
Stoker Joseph, farmer
Watson George, farmer
Brown Robert, farmer, Grange farm,
Woodgett Henry, farmer
I think there was also a farmer called Handyside aswell.

Hi Norman,
George Watson owned East Farm, he was my dad's cousin, he died in the late 1930's. Then George Amos bought East Farm 1938.
Cheers
