Note: Zachary "published and printed a pamphlet on the Navigation of the River Thames from Richmond to Staines, 1805 and A General History of the Thames Navigation in 1808; and in 1812 a pamphlet entitled The Navigation of the River and Canals West of London, which ran into a second edition - much improved. In these publications he describes himself as Superintendent and Receiver. He seems to have engaged in another trade. In E. B. Pope's History of Wargrave, 1929, under "Chalk Pit and Lavender Cottages" it is recorded that Zachary Allnutt, the lavender grower, had 40 acres planted there and that he lived at Lavender Cottage where he distilled his essence, and that until recently the stills and other apparatus could be seen in the cellar. (Wargrave is just across and up the River Thames from Henley.) In his will in 1856, his second wife Charlotte being dead, he left to his son Henry all his printing materials, proofs, types, etc. and to his daughter Ellen Mary his securities and his Navigation Books." - Mr. A Noble Some Selected Reports from The Northampton Mercury Saturday, October 4th, 1806 BRITISH FIRE-OFFICE.
