History of Barton Farm

Barton farm developed in the 16th century for sheep rearing.

After the retirement of the last tenant, Mr A Martin in 1971, the land was sold to King’s School and the Golf Club.

Three men and several horses work in a field with a horse-drawn mechanical reaper, accompanied by a small dog.
