The Jones' first moved to Castle Farm in 1963. Edward and Sally Jones are the second generation to be farming the 375 acres.
We are a mixed beef, sheep and arable farm. With a herd of home reared single suckler cows with their followers and a flock of 300 ewes. The arable side of the farm is split between growing wheat, barley and oats or peas with permanent pasture for the livestock.
We farm in a traditional way that is very much environment conscious. We are trying to rear the more traditional breeds of cattle such as Longhorn and British White Cattle along side the more usually seen breeds of beef cattle.
It is not known exactly when the present stone castle was built. Some parts of the courtyard are believed to date from the 13th Century. The first written record of the house is in 1395 when King Richard II gave Roger de Cheney a licence to crenellate the building and add a moat as a sign of his loyalty. Both of which can still be seen today.
The estate came in to the present owners family in 1717.
