Information about this Farm:

HOLYOAKE'S FARM, known as such since the seventeenth century, has a long history, having been one of the granges of Bordeslcy Abbey in the thirteenth century. When in 1827 the walled kitchen garden of Hewell Grange was made on some of the land of what had been Cutford Farm, the remaining few acres of this small farm, on which half a million bricks for the garden wall and buildings had been made from the clay soil, were absorbed into Holyoake's Farm.
