Sleepers Farm at the top of Chadwell Hill dates back to the 15th century.
It gets its name from the Sleeper family who lived in Chadwell in the 14th
and 15th century. It was owned for many years by the Russell family of Stubbers
in North Ockendon. Panorama 24 describes a 19th century sale of the farm
equipment in use and the furniture (room by room). |
