Preston, now Birds Farm, Church End. A late-Tudor house, once a small farm, it has also been a butcher's shop and a slaughterer's. The name changed sometime after 1930 when there is a record of it for sale as 'Preston'. it was lost in a card game in 1892. The name of the man who gambled it away is not known but it is thought that it was won by a Mr Johnson who lived there until about 1910.

Frank Camp delivering milk to Stone Cottage in 1928. Ruth Johnson (nee Hayden) is bringing her jug to the door to be filled (no milk bottles in those days). Bill Camp took over the milk round from his brother Frank in 1970 and now Bill's son Dennis runs it with his wife Marion. Bill gave up because he became ill with throat cancer. Happily he recovered and is now a healthy 83 year old. The Camps hasve had a milk round i nthe village for a very long time. When Bill's father, William (Billy) delivered milk there were four rounds in the village. The other rounds were run by the Balaams at the Bell, Elm Farm and Mrs Markwell from Ugley. All of them delivered twice a day after milking. Below is a view of the rear of the cottage c1900. |
