The Barn, North Ives Farm, Oxenhope. Above a 'segmented arch' wagon entrance (which is rare and of course grade two listed) there's a stone which is inscribed: TF
1682 Now the date bit is easy and I've worked that out... ;D But TF? Is it perchance a member of the 'Feather' family? All ideas and suggestions are most welcome. |

There was a Thomas Feather christened in Haworth 1648,so could this be him.

You know, we grew up with some amazingly old places around us and just took them for granted. When I was home last, 3 years ago, I visited old family friends I hadn't seen for over 50 years ago. They live at Sowden's Farm, Haworth and have done for about 60 years. I noticed a date 1600 and something. It's most famous inhabitant was the Rev Wm. Grimshaw of Wesley fame. Ann Dinsdale from the Bronte Society mentions it in her book about old Haworth, with a photo. I hope to call in again next visit. Cheers.

I visited Cure Hill Farm, Slack Lane after visiting the Slack Lane Chapel, it has TC and a date in a similar location to the one Andy saw.....................the name Thomas Cure and the date of (? building)
Fascinating stuff.
