However in the course of time Stephen and Julie moved to Hadlow Down and there they settled to farm their own land. This farm was known as "Hole farm" and in a document I obtained from Norman Walters, Julie and Stephen's great-grandson still living at Hadlow Down. The document described the farm is as follows:- 'The house is substantially built of brick and timber, and tiled. Containing two sitting rooms, kitchen, dairy, larder etc, with five bedrooms, and attics over. The farm buildings consist of a stable with granary, and a lean-to cart shed, a timber and tiled barn with a cow shed adjoining, yard with cow-lodge stall and two pig pounds.' Stephen and Julie were to need all that room in the house for as can be seen by the family tree they had eleven children. The actual farming land consisted of 135 acres of land, consisting of arable, pasture, and shaw (shaw being a thicket of wood). In the mean time her sister Harriet and her husband John were farming at Aldebrook Crowborugh where they had two children. The photo's are of Waste farm which eventually was also farmed by the Walters boy's of Stephen and Julie. This was a smaller farm consisting of only 50 acres of land. In the photo you can see the farmhouse. The farmhouse had a sitting room, kitchen scullery, dairy, two larders, three bedrooms and an attic. The outside buildings were a barn timbered and tiled, cattle lodge, cow shed, open shed and yard, stable, harness room and wagons lodge. Again the land was same as Hole farm - arable, pasture and shaw. The farmhouse had a pleasant outlook and a elevated frontage that looked out and over to the road leading from Poundsley to Hadlow Down. In the photo can be seen the sons and a daughter posing while gathering in the harvest. |
