The support of smaller farming tenants over the last 30 years has been based on respecting the existing environment, land and soil improvement to provide sustainable farming.

The farm buildings are set to the front and side of the Manor Farmhouse and consist of various traditional single storey buildings and yards, including a 45’ X 30’ portal framed hay barn, re-roofed pig styes and two fibre cement Nissan huts. The farm building refurbishment began this year.
