Lowfield Farm

11 May, 2010 Lowfield Farm

Lowfield Farm was part of the Upton House estate from 1683 when Nathaniel Cripps added it to the existing estate. The original house was built on inclosures from the Upton fields shortly before Nathaniel acquired it.

The table below shows which names have been associated with the farm, as it would appear to have comprised two separate farms certainly between 1832 and 1863, Great Lowfield Farm and Little Lowfield Farm.
