The Platt was built in 1933 for Edgar Barksfield, standing in a small enclosed field called Barlow's Platt and marks the boundary on the east side of the farmland that once belonged to Barlows. Going up the hill, all the land from here up to the footpath below the church and stretching back southwards to the footpath that runs from Parmoor to Moors End Wood formed the Barlows farm holding. Over the years parts of this land were sold off to new owners leaving only the present house and large garden named Barlows. Little BarlowsLittle Barlows [ out of sight from the road, up the driveway beside The Platt ] was also built in 1933 in the field called Little Barlows, for Mr Eastman and family from London - originally a small house but subsequently added to in three building phases. Since World War 2, Greenwoods and Cedarlow [ also mostly out of sight from the road ] have been built in the grounds.
[ Cedarlow burnt down in about 2003 and was replaced by a two storey brick house then known as "Anka" but the name has now been changed to "Hedgerows" (August 2020).] |
