Suffolk Lookup Requests / Folly Farm, Church Road, Monewden
« on: Sunday 14 December 14 23:13 GMT (UK) »
I'm trying to find any records, photographs, illustrations of Folly Farm House, Folly Farm, just north of Church Road, Monewden between 1910 - 1950. My grandmother lived at Folly Farm between 1910's to 1930's. Her name was Grace Hilda Peck, her parents where John and Racheal Peck, she lived there with her two sisters Edna and Lal. She was a teacher at the local school and served at Sunday School (possibly the local church in Monewden).
I've found an aerial photograph from December 1945 where the farm house can be seen in the South East corner of the moated area, the farm house is surrounded by trees on four corners. To the west of the farm house are a number of farm house buildings including a large barn. The large barn was destroyed (c.1980's and was exported to the United States, East Coast). In all there are 9 outbuildings.
The farm house was destroyed (by the Army in the 1950's).
My nan remembered sitting at the windows and looking directly over the church, and there being a small, basic bridge across the moat.
Any help or pointers greatly received.
