[merilyn64todhunter]

I am needing a photo of Oxleaze Farm near Woolstone. Wonderignif anyone has one or knows where I could get one? My Great Grandmother Sarah Jane Hathrill 1850-1933 lived there. Anything on the history of the Farm would also be appreciated
Thanks Merilyn

Hi Merilyn

You could try this site, it has some photo's of around Woolstone.
Just type in Woolstone in the search box, top right hand side, and then when you get a list of woolstone's come up just tick the circle next to Woolstone Gloucs

Hi Merilyn

I should be able to help BUT the farm you mention doesn't appear on the modern Ordnance Survey map of Woolstone - any idea where it is/ was?

Kind regards, Arranroots

Good piece here on Oxleaze:

http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=66469


Two-storey stone farmhouse in 1803 bulging side walls and with two barns and two stables among the stone outbuildings, was rebuilt in the early 19th century.

In the late 20th century it became a private residence and the extensive ranges of farm buildings were converted as houses.

Looks like there is more than one Oxleaze farm on Glouc there is another one here: 420500,224500 on streetmap and another one here: 421500,205500

 

Ahhhhh this is probably it:

Hi Merlyn

Quite pleased with that result unless you come back and say that your Oxleaze is definitely in Gloucestershire, then we will have to think again
