Welford's Farm

An early farm in Yeovil Marsh

 

Welford's Farm was located in Yeovil Marsh and flourished during the fourteenth-century.

As far as I am aware, there is only one reference to Welford's Farm which is in the 1589 Terrier and records "It(em) In Henry Welfords farm 40 Acres". 

Nothing further is known of Welford's Farm.

 

An illustration from a mid-fifteenth-century book shows a farmer ploughing a field.
