| hearsay:- |
Morland House, in the middle of the village was the original tudor parsonage. During
the 19th century, Rev William Rice Markham was Vicar here. He greatly extended the
house to its present size. At about the time of his death, the family acquired the
house for their own and built a new Vicarage and kept the old house for themselves. |
|
| Hall Farm is originally tudor. It has been extensively rebuilt in very recent times.
It had a wonderful dark oak staircase. Hall Farm used to be the main farm in the centre
of the village; it and its steading are now a small housing estate, and the land is
now farmed from Lowergate Farm. |
