Abstract for “Five Farnham Houses”
The author looks at five houses located
in the ancient parish of Farnham.
Two are in the town:-
No's. 30-31 Lower Church Lane.
Ivy House.
The others out in the country:-
Moor Park.
Weybourne House.
The Grange.
They were at the peak of their splendour
at different periods over three centuries:
no's 30-31 in the late 16th C, Moor Park
in the middle 17th C, Ivy House at the turn
of the 18th C, and Weybourne House and the
Grange in the early 18th C.
The histories of the houses are truly the
histories of those who owned them: their
character, prosperity, and status
in the town, and are set against what can
be seen in the fabric of the buildings today.
The book of 97 pages is provided with 58
illustrations ( many in colour ), an index,
and a glossary.
