On the west boundary of the parish some houses were built near the Ayleford-Blakeney road, including Hewler's Farm, a three-storeyed farmhouse of the late 17th century, and a few mid 19th-century cottages, loosely connected to the adjoining Forest hamlet of Blakeney Hill.

Does anyone know of the family who built this farm? I can find no references to the name in the FoD database. I know that some of the WOOD family I am tracing were living there in the mid c19 but by 1876 according to the Morris & Co directory, some farmers named DAVIS lived there. Any suggestions welcome!
