| School Farm 2007 |
| School Farm stands in Mill Lane just off Greasby Road. The name derives from the fact that it was part of the estate owned by William Glegg who was the founder of Caldy Grange Grammar School. Richard Jebb was appointed by his patron, the Bishop of Chester as curate of Bidston. He then lived permanently at School farm, having obtained from Thomas Harrison, the tenant, the house and lands in 1688. This would appear to relate to the deed dated 2nd February 1688 whereby Richard Harrison yeoman, was granted a lease on the property, which came to be known as school farm for a period of 99 years on the condition that he paid a yearly sum of 12. 6d to the Dean and Chapter of Chester, as laid down in Gleggs will: "At the west porch of St Werburghs at Michaelmas and lady day in equal portions". He had to pay all other rates and taxes and build at his own cost: "4 bays of buildings, 2 for dwelling house and 2 for cowsheds". Some of the above information was taken from " The Story of Greasby" by John Williams. |
