This farm & land is mentioned in the Domesday book although this farmhouse itself is mid 1500's.
Why Domesday?
"The Domesday Book is a great land survey from 1086, commissioned by William the Conqueror to assess the extent of the land and resources being owned in England at the time, and the extent of the taxes he could raise.
The information collected was recorded by hand in two huge books, in the space of around a year. William died before it was fully completed."
What information was collected.
"The Domesday Book provides extensive records of landholders, their tenants, the amount of land they owned, how many people occupied the land (villagers, smallholders, free men, slaves, etc.), the amounts of woodland, meadow, animals, fish and ploughs on the land (if there were any) and other resources, any buildings present (churches, castles, mills, salthouses, etc.), and the whole purpose of the survey - the value of the land and its assets, before the Norman Conquest, after it, and at the time of Domesday.
Some entries also chronicle disputes over who held land, some mention customary dues that had to be paid to the king, and entries for major towns include records of traders and number of houses.
However, the Domesday Book does not provide an accurate indication of the population of England towards the end of the 11th century."
