MartinR  no, castle261 no. Word precedes Rifleman


Ooops just looked at another photo and the sign has been repainted since I knew it, originally the soldier had a Home Guard armband,  so just concentrate on tthe right name

Is the unusual thing that the eponymous rifleman is sat on a rock?  Alternatively the foundation date is pretty early.  I'll leave it to someone else to post the full name, I'm flat out of photos.

Nearly right! Do you want to think about the name a bit more?

Sorry Pete as MartinR has it...
The property had two names the being Court Lodge Farm & Manor Farm House.
The Estate consisted of 500 acres and over the years the land was sold and over the years the farm lands were more eaten up by excavation of raw materials and other developments.
The developments were two large quarries either side and also Brickfields further away of which they owned three.
Not being able to lease anymore it became unused and fell into disrepair.
The two Oast House`s are at the rear and the Tithe Barn of the 13th century, supposedly longest in the country, is at the front of the property.
The Oast Houses and House are Grade II and the Tithe Barn Grade I  Historical Buildings
Sadly now the quarry to the North of Upnor Road is being backfilled for redevelopment of 200 new house`s  and a Secondary School the Tithe Barn is supposedly down for  Wedding Venue `s etc.
