(Visited 10/8/1979) Lower Venton is no longer a farm, the land having been separated from the house in 1972. According to present owner the house was thatched 10 years ago. The owner possessed a map of the property as it was in 1828. It showed that there had been an orchard and a pond which have both disappeared. There was an old thatched privy over a stream running through the garden. Also an old shippen with slit windows in it.
