KLHS members were given a rare opportunity to visit historic Wonwell Court Farm. The White family, who have occupied and farmed from Wonwell since the 1980s, hosted an enthusiastic group of visitors who heard about the family’s time at the farm and their plans for the future. Eve White explained how the site appears in records as far back as the Saxon period, and pointed out visible clues to the grade 2 listed building’s medieval origins and later Georgian alterations. The sunny July day was capped off with tea and cakes in Guy and Vanessa Walker’s garden at West View with a chance to study a fascinating display of Wonwell-related research documents and photographs that had been assembled by the KLHS research team.
