Saddocks Farm House

Saddocks Farm House and Garden circa 1906
At this time, James and Julia Tarrant lived here, followed by one of their sons, Arthur, and his family. This photograph is of the south elevation of the house. Arthur's sons Cyril and Reg (J A) can still recall the rose covered trellis archway along the garden path and the immaculate flower beds on the lawn beyond the hedge. At the height of their farming days, James and his sons ran Saddocks, Manor, Crown and Little Common farms. At the end of the 20th century, Crown Farm is still in the hands of Jamie Tarrant, son of Reg (H).

    Thanks for this, James Tarrant is my 1st cousin 5x removed on my grandmother's side, so interesting to see where they lived.

      I lived there until 2014. When the doctor came out to see our young son, he said he'd visited the house many years previously and told us about the history. The photo is of the back of the house but that used to be the front door. Apparently the village would walk up the lane, up that entrance path, through the house and out onto the village cricket green which sat on the north side of the house.
