New visitors to this website may find some interest in the following information about Hill Farmhouse from last year’s advent calendar windows:

Hill Farm House in about 1910.

For many years after the war, Hill Farm House was the home of Fred and Edie Golby. Fred farmed land to the north of the village and was a regular member of Sulgrave cricket team until its demise in the early fifties. He was also a keen billiard player and member of several league winning teams.

Hill Farm House in the early 1970s.

Just before I took this photo, the eastern end wall of the building suddenly and mysteriously collapsed into the yard overnight – a village “seven day wonder”! It was rebuilt in brick, as can be seen in the next photo:

    Great window Julian and Dillon! I was really wondering what it would be this year and you haven’t failed!
    Pub opening looks as though everyone enjoyed themselves including Toffee.
