Where is this farm?
« on: Friday 02 February 07 07:13 UTC (UK) »

Hello All,

In a will dated 1884 there is a mention of Thomas Ellwood yeoman Davygitt or Davygilt. The will was of John Ellwood of Blasterfield Crosby Ravensworth brother of Thomas. I know that Thomas lived in Maulds Meaburn but have never before seen a reference to this farm.

Does anyone know where it is?

Thanks in advance,

Gillian

Hi, I lived at Crosby Ravensworth for 30 years and cannot quite understand how Blasterfield Farm is in Staffield, penrith, my boss used to live there and it was in Orton parish, I don't mean to be rude but where did you find Staffield? as I have never heard of it before.

Apologies for 'butting in' Rumba .......but I think Gillian was talking about Davygitt or Davygilt ........ not Blasterfield.

Hi Jean & Rumba,

Thanks for your replies!!!

Rumba - Jean is correct in saying that I was looking for Davygilt which I have since discovered is in Staffield CUM. Where did you live in CR? My grandparents lived at Lyvennet and ggrandparents lived at the smithy (became the post office & now is the CR archive), Blasterfield Farm and the schoolhouse Reagill.

Jean - thanks for putting Rumba on the right track!!

ooops sorry for getting wrong end of the stick?
My grandparents lived at the smithy you talk about, latterly called Bridge End House, we lived next door in the bungalow which was also the post office once my grandmother retired. The Lyvennet you refer to is it just Lyvennet or Lyvennet Bank, maulds meaburn.

Hi Rumba,

Lyvennet is the house after CR fell gate on the road towards Woodfoot. My grandparents had the house built c1930. It was bought by a Langhorn family who train dogs. I believe the family still live there.

I have some old postcards of CR if you are interested in scanned copies. Some are of the Smithy. Did your grandparents run the postoffice? I remember the PO as a child.

OMG that PC is fantastic I almost cried. Our house is in between Bridge End and Tenter Row, there is a small roof just visible (old garden shed) I believe that was the garden of tenter row. Yes the lady at Lyvennt has kennels still. I don't know if you are aware that there has been a calendar of CR and MM for the past couple of years but this year we have exhausted our photograph supplies and if you have some that we may not have used it would be absolutely fantastic for you to scan some for us.
Perhaps you could email them to me. I am wondering if you may know my family Robertson, Dawson, Savage.

Hi Rumba,

Glad you liked the photo. Send me a personal message with your email address and I'll send you more.

I forgot to mention that my grandparents & g grandparents also lived at Tenter Row. My mum's cousin Richard Johnson has now sold the property. My mum was born there.

Regards,

Gillian

Hi Lilianj51,

Yes it is the same farm! My great grandmother Margaret Ellwood & my gg grandmother Isabella Ellwood were born there. My ggg grandfather John Ellwood was a tenant farmer at Blasterfield. My mum says her gran, Margaret Ellwood, said that she walked to school in Crosby Ravensworth and would be met by her grandfather on her way back home were she would leave the road to take a short cut through the fields. No wonder people were a lot more physically fit then!

Do you have a photo of the farm? I have one but from the road. The farm is quite a way back.

Regards,

Gillian

Gillian I'm sorry to hijack your thread but I was wondering if you or Lilian know where Stannerstones is .... or was. My gran was born there and I think it's near Great Asby but I've Googled it and only come up with a derelict farm building.

Was it a farm or an area?

Thanks and sorry again
Jean
