A Memory of Goostrey.

My great great grandfather, Simon Myall, had a farm called Blackden Hall according to the 1851 census. The house is still there but no longer a farm.

Comments & Feedback

Simon Myatt and his family, including some of his Grandchildren, continued to live for many years at Blackden Hall, it was a tenanted farm at the time and he was described as a 'Gentleman Farmer' on the Census. Many of the family were born in the house and their baptisms occurred at St Luke's Church in Goostrey. A number of the family graves can be found in Goostrey.
