Hi I was wondering if anyone could tell me where Hutts Farm was, thank you Liz Clarke

current address

Hutts Farm, UPPER RODLEY ROAD Rodley, Westbury-On-Severn GL14 1QZ

Of interest to me is where the marriage took place. I can't find it!

Oddly I think, the same entry found via the National Archives website gives more detail, namely

"Westbury-on-Severn [no ref. or date]

[no title] D247/50 1697

Contents:
Messuage and 2 tithing lands called Hutts in Rodley in Westbury-on-Severn
(Malson, Launder, Crumpe)"

Is it this one?

Hutts Farm is a 17th-century timber-framed house comprising a main block and a cross-wing, the latter plastered over; the date 1665 and the initials of members of the Malson family are carved on a beam inside.

It is (or was) at Rodley, Westbury-on-Severn. A housing estate appears to have been built on the farmland? Try Googling to see what else you can find!
