Have come across ARAMS FARM which is just south of Newnham. I believe the farm is very old and was occupied in 1911 by the Rudge family.
Any details concerning its history an owners or tenants would be appreciated

Dear Mr Mayor

The exigency of having to leave luncheon early today prevented my then thanking you and the Mayoress for your kindness and hospitality and I was unable to find you again before I left to catch my train.

May I therefore now express to you how much I appreciated being invited on such an occasion and how grateful I am to you for your kindness.

Sincerely yours
Rufsell J Kerr"
