"The reason I had come to this farm, ninety miles from home, was that my grand-parents had a weekend bungalow, Bulla Burra, (Aboriginal for beautiful bird; my grandmother was Australian) in Slad Lane, just out of the village.   They used to come down from London by train and were met at Saunderton Station and taken up the hill, via Bradenham, by horse and cart, past the house where Disraeli was born and on to Lacey Green.

In 1972 Bulla Burra was purchased by Miles Marshall and his wife. The changed its name to Apple Acre
