Researching the family history in Downton took us to this farmhouse. The farm had been in the family for many generations but we couldn't find a road leading to it. Luckily there was a bridleway, so off we went and a mile along the track we were so delighted to see this beautiful old house! We did think about claiming it but on second thoughts just took the pictures ;-) My four times great grandfather was born here and because of their Wills we were able to gather a lot of information. They were Yeoman Farmers.
