Description:

The Watkins family farmed at Turnastone Court Farm for a number of generations before the property was finally sold to the Countryside Restoration Trust in 2003. The family genealogy and history has not to the best of our knowledge been recorded, but a number of largely undated and sometimes unidentified family photographs survive. They are reproduced below together with any captions noted on the originals.
