Description
".....The middle cottage is called MERCI BEAUCOUP, because during the First World War, Sir James Knott, who ran the Close House Estate, furnished the cottage and let it to the friends and family of soldiers who were convalescing a mile down the road at Holyn Hall. At the end of the war he held a competition to name the cottage and the winner received £1.00. The farm has changed greatly over the years from a mixed farm with sheep, pigs, cattle, chickens and arable, to a mainly Hereford cattle and arable farm...." -
