Administrative / biographical background

The donor's family has been long established in Brentwood, co. Essex. His great grandfather was a substantial farmer in the first half of the 19th century and his grandfather kept cows in Brentwood and retailed milk locally and at Kings Cross and Paddington. His father continued the business and also undertook retail beer and spirit selling and mail contracting. The family took over Park Farm in 1904 and moved to Canterbury Tye in 1913. They have been owner-occupiers since 1926. In 1966 June the main activity on the farm was dairying.
