Hill Farm, a Grade II listed building with an impressive
range of farm buildings, was let throughout the 18th Century to a Smith, of
the farming family prominent both then and into the next century. It was
sold from the de Broke estate in 1828 to John Salmon, who resold in 1843
to Rev. T G Hulbert, who kept it to the end of the century. Tenanted
most of this time, in 1881 a farm baliff was employed, a sign of the
difficulty in finding tenants at that time of the depression. At the
turn of the century, John Vimpany and Edward Drewett were the tenants,
and by 1914 the Camery family, Joshua and Charles, were farming here and
stayed for 25 years or so, followed by Leo Weekes and Philip Bathard.
