Statement of Interest

Noted in the Ordnance Survey Name Book as "...a commodious farmhouse 2 stories high and in good repair". Despite later additions and alterations, the building retains architectural interest. Rutherfurd notes a George Hogarth (of Marlfield) as farmer here in 1866. The associated steading and nearby farmworkers' cottages are not included in this listing.
