Its parish contains 291 inhabitants, and 1475 acres of fertile, loamy land, of which Earl Ferrers is the principal owner, and lord of the manor.
Gayton left the Governors office in 2001, and is now a lecturer at the Dan Evans Graduate School of Public Affairs at the University of Washington and a consultant in the fields of education and workforce development.
