Yarhampton "Foxhall Farm" 1934 to 1940's
« on: Monday 15 June 15 09:43 BST (UK) »
Dear Forum,
Seeking assistance to locate history of "Foxhall Farm" my grandparents Herbert Huntley Harrison and Marie Edith Harrison purchased around 1934? and sold about 1942?. Wondering if someone could assist in locating sales listing in local newspaper etc. Plus any history of the farm appreciated, regards Jason

Dear Jason
There are sales particulars with a photo here for 2012
http://www.zoopla.co.uk/property-history/foxhall-farm/yarhampton/stourport-on-severn/dy13-0uy/18768058.
The older part on the right looks old enough to be your building.If you click on the document then it gives a floor plan.
Right move has slightly more photos inside.

In 1979 there was a notice in the London Gazette looking for claims on the estate of Thomas George Rea who had died there.
Apparently the original house is supposedly Georgian but it looks a lot older to me .There are entries in the Newspaper index at FindMyPast to sales of the farm from 1862 and a possible poisoning in 1944.
Sorry but I'm struggling to find anything else.
