Farm buildings at Black Hedley

This settlement dates back to medieval times. The present farm was built in 1750 by local landowner Humphrey Hopper. This building was probably added at a later date, around 1800 perhaps, and is a byer with hay lot above. Very typical for the area. A nice touch is the rounded corners to the door on the left. Obviously this was a superior type of farm.
