Full Description
Ruscombe or Riscombe Farm was burned down in 1792. The site included a "dwelling house, barns, stables, linhays, corn, hay, etc." The farmer was Mr George Veysey. Four of his horses had been poisoned the week before and his brother in law, Mr Thomas Greenslade, a neighbouring farmer, stood accused but was acquitted. [1] It is unclear as to how much of the original buildings have been incorporated into the current farmstead (MEM23179). [2]
