Manor Farm was the largest farm in the village, with most of the land north of the High Street and as far as Seagry. The farm, like everywhere else in the village, was owned by the Draycot Estate. 100 years ago Lord Cowley decided to sell everything to pay off family debts. There was a huge auction in the village, and all the houses, farms, pubs and shops were sold. Manor Farm had several owners over the years before the houses were built here in the 1980s.
