Full Description
This feature is recorded in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment of St Mary Hoo Parish. The report states: "Isolated farmsteads were established on the low-lying marshland, such as …Lowlands Farm, along with shepherds or 'lookers' cottages. By the 1840s one individual William Fuller owned St Mary's Hall, Lowland Farm, Moat Farm, Hoppers Farm and Ross Farm. This estate was subsequently acquired by Ecclesiastical Commissioners (latterly the Church Commissioners). The farms were often managed by bailiffs and it was as a tenant that Henry Pye arrived at St Mary's Hall in 1851. He subsequently went on to lease Swigshole Farm, Ross Farm, Hoppers Farm and Fenn Street Farm (in St Mary Hoo parish) as well as Turkey Hall Farm and New Barn Farm (in Stoke Parish)…Lowlands Farm to the north of Moat Farm had lost its outbuildings by 1908 and had been entirely cleared by the mid 20th century". It is no longer on modern maps (2016) but is still visible on OS historic maps (1907-23)(1)
