This fine old stone farmhouse is probably early or mid Victorian. The farm itself is older than that, there was a medieval village here. An interesting point is the inscribed stone between the upper windows. The initials E S on the lower line stand for Edward Smythe, a local land owner who put these plaques on all his tenant farms. I was kindly given this information by the present farmer.
