                           Towards the end of the Great War and immediately following it, two events took place
                        of considerable significance. First, in 1917, the Thame Park Estate sold off by auction a
                        considerable acreage of land and properties, including Moreton Field Farm, Moreton
                        Farm, Brook Cottage, and Meadowbrook Farm. Also falling under the hammer was a
                        paddock alongside the Old Bell and the Allotments which subsequently became The
                        Furlongs.
