Stocken Farm with landlord Lord Cavendish

MANOR FARMS SOLD

John Grubb, of Horsenden, the Lord of the Manor of Princes Risborough, was in financial difficulty due to taxation to pay for the Napoleonic Wars, and from about 1808 onwards he sold to Lord George Henry Cavendish, most of the Manor Farms including Culverton Farm, Row Farm (Wardrobes Farm), Brimmers Farm and Stocken Farm, all in the Upper Hamlets.    Cavendish never lived here and all the properties continued to be tenanted.   He then campaigned to get the Enclosures of Princes Risborough approved by Parliament
