Pinkery 01 – Pinkery Farm |
Pinkery was designated as a farm in 1848, standing at 400 acres but with no buildings or equipment; eventually being let to Mr Groves in 1849. It was the last farm on the Forest to be equipped, and in 1859 it was finally let as a holding of 250 acres to Richard Ridd, at a rent of £62 and 10 shillings, with interest at the rate of 6¾% on the sum of £400 to be expended by the landlord on house and buildings. The fields for Pinkery Farm were laid out over the Pinkery Canal area. In 1873 Pinkery became one of the herdings, with a flock of Cheviot sheep in the charge of a shepherd. In more modern times, the Exmoor National Park purchased the farm in 1969 as an education centre, a purpose for which it is still used today, but managed by the YHA. |
