Records of farms in the parish exist from as early as 1327. Twenty six separate working farms and two nurseries have been identified so far. Some of these still operate as separate businesses but others have been amalgamated into larger units. Many of the farms were owned by the Cowdray or Mitford estates and some still are. The list may not be comprehensive.
