The bread oven still remained in 1996 and could become functional again.The bread oven room was later used as a coalhouseand and there was a dairy next to the bread oven.On the side of the front wall is a stone set into the brickwork with the date 1699. Three Grand National winners came from the Hands stable and it is said that their beer and cider was renowned throughout the country.]

The Grand National winners came from Park View Stables at the end of Chapel Lane. You can still see the stables now converted and the clock on the wall so that the jockeys knew when to return from exercise. That farm was owned and the horses trained by the Wilson Family
