Shepherds Farm, Rickmansworth Published by E S Brown, Rickmansworth There is at Mill End an old timber-framed farmhouse known as Shepherds Farm. ...The earliest known reference to Shepherds Farm is in a subsidy roll dated 1294, which records the name of Robert Le Schephard. The next name of interest is that of Robert Lane, whose name is given in the subsidy roll of 1534, and it is with this family who farmed the property for nearly 300 years the Shepherds Farm is so closely linked. ... ... ... it passed from father to son until 1773, when the occupier at that date, Joseph Lane, sold the property to a Joseph Swannell. By 1839 the property had again been sold, this time to the Thelluson trustees, by whom it was farmed for a number of years. They also erected a new farmhouse, the old house being let to one of the farm hands and for the lodging of single men employed there. from an article in Hertfordshire Countryside, Autumn 1959. |
