Berry Farm Barn: A Legacy Through Generations
While the village of South Cerney was founded by Saxon settlers in 999 AD, Berry Farm boasts a rich history of its own. Parts of the stone farmhouse on the farm date back to 1580, and Berry Farm itself has been known to exist since at least 1856. Purchased by Claire’s great-grandfather in 1932 for the princely sum of £4,300, the farm has remained in the family ever since.
Claire fondly recalls harvest time when her grandfather Ray owned the farm, climbing up into the hay bales. Ray, a horse lover, was often seen around the village with his horse and trap, with Claire riding beside him. The farm was eventually passed down to Claire’s mother, and now Claire is the fourth generation of the family to live and work on the farm. Recently, she has uncovered some incredible photographs in the archives, revealing the farm’s storied past.
