Hi Gill
I just found your request for info on the John family while looking for my cousins post code. She sold City Farm a few years ago to property developers who intended building on the land, the builders ran into financial difficulties and sadly the farm burnt down. However my cousin still lives nearby and she is a descendant of Llewellyn John. She was born in City Farm. Please send me a personal message if you need any more details.
My father has now reminded me of a conversation he had with Uncle Henry about the origins of the farm name, Uncle Henry said that the name "City" had derived from "Saith Ty" as there were once seven houses in that area.
