Can anyone tell me if they have any information regarding a fire at a Farm in Highleadon (in 1841-1861 census it is named as Half Timbered House)Sometime around 1862.
Information given to me this year by the owner of the Farm says the house was set on fire. The farm has been rebuilt and is now called New House Farm, Highleadon. Plaque on front of new house says 1863.

A John Harvey born 1792 Avening, Gloucester, and his wife Suzanna Phelps born 12th July 1801 Rudford,Gloucester. And their numerous children lived there. Do not know if they rebuilt it or someone else took over the farm? Any information would be really welcome.

Kindest Regards
