Please help us build ths page by sending whatever information you have
about any farm in our district.
Please note that the descriptions of properties have changed over the years.
We are trying to start off with the original descriptions and then note the
changes as and when they occur. This method is sometimes complicated when
changes do not follow the original sequence eg. if Subs A, B & C become
Portions 3, 1 & 2 rather than 1,2 & 3. Please bear with us and assist
where possible.
