I'm trying to gather some historical information regarding Grafton Farm in Noneley. I've found a little information from census records and the like, and I have seen it's Grade II listing , but I 'm wondering who had it built, and who lived there prior to the 1871 census onwards. If anyone has any information I'd be very interested in it.
Thank you.
I Hope the link below will work, I have tried it. It has the early owner's of the Noneley estate.
Just Copy & Paste.

Grafton Farm Noneley identified from 1838 Tithe Apportionment.
Landowner. VERNON DOLPHIN ESQ
Occupier. HENRY WHITFORD.
113 acres. DOLPHIN not a local name I have come across elsewhere.
WHITFORD in 1841 census but not 1851.
Unusually Grafton not in surrounding Noneley Estate lands but is by the time of the sale in 1920.
I have poor photocopy of Tithe Apportionment and map and also better copy of 1920 Estate sale particulars + plan.
If you would like copies and to compare what we have please email me. (I also have a little on the RODENHURST family recorded in 1924 Kelly's).
