Dampier's Farm

An early farm in Yeovil Marsh

 

Dampier'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 Dampier's Farm which is in the 1589 Terrier and records "It(em) in Dampiers farm 26 Acres". 

Nothing further is known of Dampier's Farm.

 

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