From the original description - South-east from this, and near the boundary of jayes Park is Volvens Farm, of which I give a drawing as it is less well known than many of the farmsteads in the district. The name is peculiar, and every means of inquiry as to its origin have been exhausted by the recently deceased owner and its present tenant without result. There is a Wolvins Farm near Abinger, and a Woolvers Farm south-east from Leigh, both obviously derived from wolf, but 1 do not think these explain this name. Possibly the explanation may be found locally. The neighbouring farm is Fishfold, and less than a mile east is Vann. This may have originally been Fold Van. The construction of the house seems to date it about the end of the sixteenth century. The plan is the usual central space, with a wing at each end slightly projecting ; but here the hall space has been built in two floors, and the great chimney- stack is as old as the house, so that it never had an open hearth and a smoke-hole. At the front one of the projecting wings has been removed. The weather roof of tiles over the first-floor windows is a feature not often met with, and has probably been added at the same time that the end of the house was covered with tiles ; these are now worn and weather-stained into beautiful colour, but their beauty in no way detracts from the service they perform in repelling the wet south and west winds.
