About twenty farmsteads were rebuilt either in whole or in part between 1847 and 1870 on recently enclsoed land, with the finest examples dating from the 1860s. As was so often the case they were not designed by an architect but by Turnor's agent, Mr J.Young Macvicar. Their unusual layout, which is typical of the estate, consists of an external U, with an internal E, linked to the outer range through a central straw barn.{2} Grange Farm, Little Ponton and Stroxton.
