Full Description
Frogmore Farm is a house of two storeys with brick walls and a tiled roof, probably built in 1712. Late in the 18th century a South East wing was added at the South West end of the original range and in more recent times a further addition was built in the re-entrant angle between the two ranges. A date stone inscribed "WH 1712", now hidden, probably refers to the building of the original range. <2>
