The Wright family moved from Hambeldon Hall some time after WW1, they were at Leafield Barn untill some time in the 1950's.
I only knew the mother Mrs Wright, a real formidable woman, and her three sons George, Harry & Richard. George went into property repairing, and Harry worked for some time at Moseleys Bakery in Jacob St, I think Richard was the last one to use it as a farm, they had a rooster that attacked any one who went near the place, I always carried a stick with me when I went to West farm.

Retlaw.
