These are all male sheep called Tups. In the summer they are separated from the Ewes (female sheep) and lambs. They will visit the Ewes again in autumn to produce lambs in the spring. This is the front paddock with a view of Sleeplate Cottage, Ploughman’s Rest and Home Cottage beyond.
Burton Dassett hills is a two mile walk from the cottages and the beacon can be viewed from the farm. A lovely place to visit.

The mill was built in 1664 and blown down in a storm in 1946. The beacon was likely built by Lord of the Manor Sir Edward Belknap in the late 15th century as a tower mill and later used as defensive lookout tower in the English Civil War.
