Administrative / biographical background

The early parish accounts relating to Bucklehampton, Salop, passed by marriage from the Martin family to the Tudge family. They were purchased by Joseph Martin junior. The history of the farm accounts is a little uncertain. The Martin and Tudge families farmed in Salop until the early 20th century. The Tudges farmed at Stepaside, Onibury, Salop and the 1906-08 accounts relate to this farm. The 1923-32 accounts relate to a farm at Cwm Head, near Church Stretton, Salop, occupied by W.B. Tudge and Mrs K.J. Maybury, who farmed in partnership. The most recent accounts relate to a small farm run by Miss D.M. Tudge at Great Danegate, Wadhurst, Sussex.

Farm size, etc.

Farm at Cwm Head 20 acres increasing to 35-40 acres; medium loam; tenant-farmed; farm at Great Danegate about 6 acres
