[HER note 30/08/2013: The farmhouse marked as Poplar Farmhouse on OS mapping, is actually Manor Farmhouse, adjacent to the post medieval manorial earthworks at the east end of the village. Wakerley House may formerly have been known as Poplar Farmhouse, since it stands adjacent to an area/house called The Poplars on first edition OS mapping.]
