Hi
As I promised I have been making more inquires about the farm.
After talking to the church warden today.who was born and bred here. mid 1930s.He has definitly confirmed that the farm in question was  called GLEBE FARM, which was at the time run by the REDFERN family

Hi
My brother in law used knock around with the young lad David refern,who lived at the farm/smallholding in question in the late 40s early 5os, It was then owned by redferns or relations, who I believe have the the milk business in the village
He can remember the place before it was demolished and the present bungalow  was built,
he also worked for Edgar Tinkler who had the farm almost opposite the bungalow,.and had most of the land around trimdon.
Most of the land around trimdon was and still is I believe owned by Captain Beckworth,( Beckworth Estates)and let out to farmers.If you let me have your email address, I will have a browse round the churchyard to check on the names mention, also to send you a picture.
Another thing that may be of interest to you is ,a lot of folks from the trimdon area were buried Kelloe I belive
Carters farm opposite the church was demolished in the late 60s to make way for the presenent old folks home,This was a great pity and would never have been allowed today as it was a lovely old medievil type building.
regards

Hi
I am new to the site and have just found your enquiry.
You may have allready recieved answers on this subject, but if not I hope ther following helps
Glebe Farm was at fishburn where the old folks home was . I used to play on the farm wall when at school at fishburn from 1953 to58,
I have lived in Trmdon since 1953 and have no recollection of a farm where it is suggested to have been ,(near the club)But I will enquire further,.
On the subect of Miles Brown.
There is a grave stone in the village churchyard with the name of Miles Brown died around 1857? I can take a photo and send it if you are still interested,I pass it twice
regards
joe
