Summary
Farmstead dates to the early 16th century, based on the age of the farm buildings, but it may be older. Depicted on the Tithe Map, the layout of the farm remained roughly the same until the mid-late 20th century, when a number of modern farm buildings were added, changing the character of the farm.
