Title: Amery Farm [Go to resource]
Description: The farmhouse is mainly an 18th century building. Alton was a royal manor before the Conquest and the site of the Manor of Eastbrook was subsequently called Amery Farm, leased by the Abbot of Hyde to John Hockly in 1583. In 1611 it belonged to John Knight of Chawton and eventually was owned by John Gaythorne Wood of Thedden. In more recent times it became the property of the Chalcraft family until the early 1930s when the farm was split up and sold, the farmhouse and a small estate being bought by F W Lerwill. Over time the lands have been built upon , some of the barns converted and all that remains is the farmhouse itself, now used as business premises.
