The lake, famously known as Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg, was responsible for sustaining a significant Native American population. Its waterpower potential attracted Samuel Slater, the father of American manufacturers, to locate his textile mills here, and in 1832, at Slater s behest, the towns of Oxford and Dudley reluctantly granted the land for Webster s formation.

Create, protect and optimise value in the context of the organisation s business objectives; 2. Manage a wide range of tax related
