Hi Linda
Would love a copy of the map. This is something I have been meaning to do some more research on.
My email is: akinch36(a)hotmail.com
Are you interested in the photo? It shows a little bit of the outside of the farmhouse.

Hi Alison
Thank you so much for you reply. I think you may have solved a puzzle for me! My great grandma married William Barnes-I have just started to look for their marriage date and hopefully this may also have Churchfields Farm as an address. I will definitely look at the book you have mentioned. One of my colleagues has ordered me a copy of a book about Basford, which is still in the process of being referenced. If I find any thing interesting I will let you know. I am just off to work so must go now, but thanks again for your reply.
Linda
ps would you like a copy of the map?

Hi Linda
I don't know a great deal about Churchfields Farm. I believe it was leased from the Duke of Newcastle. Edward Solomon/Charlesworth lived there from at least 1868 to the 1880s. His son, Thomas Edward Solomon/Charlesworth then lived there until his death in 1903. His widow is listed in the 1905 Wrights Directory and I think the family gave up the farm soon after then.
I do have a family wedding photo taken outside which shows a little bit of the house.
It was situated on a hill just above the parish church St Leodegarious and I understand the farm house was demolised c1930s. I have visited the site which is now a playing field. There is brief mention of it in the book "Basford - Village to Suburb" by Alfred S Bowley which mentions the "Barnes family's Churchfields farm house".

Hello my name is Linda Bentley. I have only just started to research my family history. When my grandma got married in September 1926 the address she was living at was Churchfields Farm. I have been trying to find out about the farm. I know some of it was purchased by the corporation when Western Boulevard was built. I have a map showing the farm in 1917, but would love to find out any information about the farm.
