ROWDEFIELD FARMING

• 01110 - Growing of cereals (except rice), leguminous crops and oil seeds

The Butler family first came to the original Rowdefield Farm site in July 1860, when the area farmed was 115 hectares (284 acres). Daniel Butler died in 1871 and the tenancy passed to his son Daniel William Butler in 1877... By 1917 the farm had become part of the Roundway Estate, owned by Lord Roundway. The area by this time was around 132 hectares (330 acres) of rented land plus 70 acres in the parish of Bromham. The rent was the equivalent of £1.30 per acre, and Walter Butler became the tenant. These were 92 hectares of arable land and the remainder was pasture. Sheep were kept as well as cattle... Rowdefield Farm Training Education Centre.
