Rowley farmhouse
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.

Rowley Farm from the east
This nice old farmstead stands in the fields west of Esh Winning village. The present buildings here are probably mid Victorian, but the farm itself is older than that. There was a medieval village here called West Rowley, so it's probable that there has been a farm of some sort on this site since then.

Moat at Castle Steads, Esh Winning
This site to the west of the present village was the location of a medieval manor house. Built in the C12, it was abandoned in the mid C17. Nothing much remains, but the moat, now dry, is still very prominent. This is the SW corner.
