Hollier's Farm, Middle Barton, Oxfordshire

Wendy Archer, another dedicated Guild member, sent through some photographs of Hollier's Farm in Middle Barton, Oxfordshire. This would have been named after Joseph Hollier 1815-1891. But life as a tenant farmer was not easy with the landlords imposing oppressive rents. This caused Joseph and his family to emigrate to New Zealand around 1882, where the family farmed through to the 1930s.
