Description: | Penn Moor Farm, in the 19th century was the home of the Jenks family. They worked land on some of the nearby farms including Bearnett Farm, Orton Grange Farm and Lloyd Farm. John Jenks rented the farm from the Lloyd estate, which was sold in 1901 by Harriet Bradney Shaw Hellier of the Wodehouse. Penn Moor was sold for 3,700 to H. Pitt and H. Hughes. The farmhouse consisted of a large sitting room, hall, kitchen, dairy, scullery and a bake oven. There were four bedrooms on the first floor and four attic rooms at the top. Outside there was a large walled-yard and a water pump. After the sale the house was occupied by Charles Henry Webb who farmed the land. In 1927 the estate was sold to Francis J.J. Gibbons of Penn Hall and a year later, the house but not the land, was sold to Herbert Beresford Clode on condition that it was first offered to the Penn Hall Estate on resale (thanks to Bev Parker) Why the records are with Ductile Wesson is unclear. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Walsall Archives / Local History Centre | Rights holder: | Ductile Wesson | Temporal: | 1906 - 1910 | Source: | Black Country History | Creator: | Wesson & Co | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
