Mr Fred King has a most interesting oil painting, dating from the 19th century showing the front facade of this farm and the pond in the foreground. The painting was commissioned by a member of his family. The farm was built in 1619, for the date stone is carved over the inglenook fireplace. There is an abundance of old timbering, infilled with handmade bricks under plastering. The roof was previously thatched and the chimneys are original. One quarried-tiled floor still exists. The acreage has been in the King family for many generations, as ancient maps tell us.
