Description
A post-Enclosure farm created by the Selby-Lowndes family after the enclosure of Winslow in 1767. It is on the boundary of the old Winslow and Shipton field systems. It is marked on the 1825 Bryant map as Bridge Farm. The name Shipton Farm appears in a sale advert of 1872 (27th April, Bucks Herald). It became "Old" when a new farmhouse was built in the 1960s. There is a photograph in Terry Foley and Julian Hunt, Winslow (Archive Photographs, 2nd ed. 2019), p.24, who suggest that, as it has a timber frame, parts of the building pre-date Enclosure and were moved to a new site.
