It is recorded that in 1723 Sarah Millman mortgaged fields at Levaton Farm (Dower Park and Little Dower Park). These were probably her dowry on marriage. She inherited the farm and was in possession in 1761. Her father, William Dyer, was the last of the Dyers to hold the farm which had been in the family over 200 years.

Only a few of the historic farm buildings shown on the 1880s-1890s Ordnance Survey map appear to be still standing. The farmhouse has also been rebuilt to the north.
