Turkey Hall Farm is mentioned in the Historic Area Assessment for Stoke Parish by English Heritage, part of the wider Hoo Peninsula study. It notes that it is on the west of the parish and no longer in agricultural use. It is noted as a farm leased by Henry Pye in the latter 19th century. He was credited with modernising agriculture on the peninsula and leased several farms in the parish of St Mary Hoo where he lived. He introduced hops at Turkey Hall Farm. (3)
