I'm trying to trace back the history of Green Farm and, in particular, Green Farm Cottages in Meopham Green, formerly known as Pitfield Green. I have found the cottages on a tythe map dating back to 1840 but think the cottages were built earlier. There is a Parish Council reference to Green Farm dated 1697. I am fighting a planning application which could completely ruin and demolish part of the associated buildings. Unfortunately, I am now running out of time and only have until the evening of 11th January to find any more evidence before the planning application is determined. I know it's very late in the day, but I have only just found your website. Any help would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSorry Frances but I only know a little about the villages of Stansted and Fairseat, my expertise does not extend to Meopham Green but good luck with your search!
