    Primrose Hill Farm Hole or Holme Farm

    Hello I’ve just come across this post. I’m really interested in the history. My ancestor William Grantham lived on the farm & I believe (although not yet sure) his dad Richard Grantham also lived there before passing when William seems to have taken over the farm at this point.

    Grantham

William Grantham was on the farm and I believe his farther Richard Grantham too (although he’s the point I’m stuck) Thanks
