Summary
West Hookney farm, thought to date to between the 16th and 18th century. Depicted on the Tithe Map with a farmhouse and associated buildings to the west and north of the yard. Little remains of the farm buildings; a mid-20th century cottage replaced the farmhouse and only a small structure fronting the road may still be original.
