History

When a farmyard it belonged to Mr & Mrs Arthur Grindey. Their farmhouse, Adshead’s Barn Farm house, stands on the corner of Lord Street and Cow Lane.

The modern (late 20thC) housing known as Adshead Court was built on what had previously been the farmyard to Adshead’s Barn farm, with the access from Cow Lane.

Grindey family

Mrs Gladys Grindey died on 21 June 2007 aged 88. She and her husband Arthur had one daughter, Joan. They farmed Adshead’s Barn Farm, as it was known in earlier times, for very many years. They had a dairy herd and bottled their own milk. This was delivered to the local houses by Mr Grindey’s sister using a small purpose made trolley designed to carry a single milk crate.
