Wrens Nest Farm

[angel~eyes]

I am researching my Grandfathers family in Dudley. My Grandfather John William (Bill) Martin b 1907 along with his two brothers Harold b 1911 and David b 1910 leased a farm on top of the Wrens Nest Nature Reserve off the Earl of Dudley. Not much is known about this farm except it was located near the seven sister caves and that the families probably moved out from there during the 1950's. We also know that the football team was set up by them in the barn. Any information/photos would be much appreciated. Thank you.
