A longhouse is a medieval farmhouse in which both people and cattle were accommodated under a single roof.
Higher Uppacott is a grade one listed building of rare and national importance. It is one of the few remaining examples of this historic building type, which has retained its lower or shippon end (cattle shelter) in its original unaltered state. One of the things that makes Higher Uppacott so special is that its development from medieval beginnings through to the present day is still clearly evident within the fabric of the building.

Brother farms Shillingford Organics and West Town Farm are launching a series of Food @ the Farm events this year.
This is your chance to come out to the farm, see how good food is produced and also eat some of our delicious produce all cooked up and prepared for you by a professional chef!
The Bluebell Brunch is our first Food @ the Farm event, we thought as the bluebells started to pop out that it would be nice to give everyone a chance to see them on a guided walk and you can't beat a good brunch on a Sunday morning so the two should be combined.
