........... some descriptions of "Crewe Farm" (Kenilworth) which
appeared in local publications in 1887 and 1888. They are transcribed
below:
(From "Farm Houses 1887", p.5)
Wm. Burbury, Crewe farm, 227 3 5
Part of this farmhouse and some of the outbuildings, also about 3 acres of
land were occupied by the late Joseph Shakespeare who died this
year. Wm. Burbury now occupies the whole of the house and all the
outbuildings and the small grass field which was occupied by the late
Joseph Shakespeare. It is a good farmhouse with 6 or 7 bedrooms, 2 living
rooms and good outbuildings, but the house requires stripping and
re-tiling, a room papering, a window re-leading, barn roof re-tiling and a
new door for barn, also a bedroom floor and staircase repairing.
