Northicote Farm
Northicote Farm, Northicote Lane, Bushbury, was built around 1600.
Occupants and owners
It was owned for many generations by the Underhill family. Later the farm became part of the Moseley Court estate. In the 1840s the buildings were owned by a George Thomas Whitgreave, while the census taken a year later lists the occupant of the farm as a John Bacon.
In 1901 the Thompson family moved into Northicote Farm. Mr Thompson was a member of a family of Bilston industrialists.
War effort
During World War One the farm was used to keep horses brought over from Canada and the USA. They would stay at the farm for a short period of time before being sent into action in Europe.
Departure of the Whitgreaves
In 1920 the chapel at the farm was demolished and the bodies of several of the Whitgreave family were moved to St Mary's Catholic Church, Brewood. In 1922 the Whitgreave family left the area and the farm was bought by Mr & Mrs Lees.
Tenant farmers
Mr Edwin Lees lived and worked on the farm until his death in 1940. His wife May Lees agreed with Mr & Mrs Buckless that they should live in part of the farmhouse and work the land as tenant farmers.
In 1966 Mrs Lees sold the farm and, following several different owners, the Council bought it in 1978.
In 1983 Mr & Mrs Buckless retired and left the farm after 43 years. The council then renovated the farm buildings and created a country park in the parkland of Moseley Court.
