How nice of you to contact me, Sammy!
Do you know anything of the history of the farm e.g. was there more than one house there?
Dad always said he lived at Yew Tree Farm but I see from the 1911 census that their address was Yew Tree Cottage.  Is that the one you live in or is it further down the road from the farm?
Dad's father was a labourer so I don't imagine the family lived in the main farmhouse!
Thanks.
Judi

We live at the farm although I don't know much about it and we only have 6 acres here. Next door is yew tree cottage. I rent it and from when my landlords bought it, it now looks completely different! There is also yew tree nurseries which belongs to the farm but is now a separate business. I would have thought by looking at where we are it would have been all one so the cottage would have been part of it at one time. Yew tree cottage in itself is a nice house not sure if it's ever been extended or anything. I will see if I can look into it. I'm guessing my landlords bought this in maybe the 60's 70's

Thanks, Sammy.
I have a photo I found on the internet a few years ago which I'll send to you by personal message.
It would be great if you could confirm that that is the same Yew Tree Cottage next to you.
