In 1924 the late Princess Marie Louise visited Holywell Park and planted a tree which may still be seen.
   Princess Mary, the Princess Royal, visited the Foas at Holywell Park, and planted a tree in commemoration of her visit:, unfortunately this died.
   All the farms were sold separately at his death in 1935, when the occupants with exception of Pond Farm and Ridley Poultry Farm took possession. Dairy Farming, sheep, market gardening and corn growing form the main workings.
   New Street and Eldridge Farms were for many years in the hands of the Lofts, a very well known and respected family, and were farmed as a single unit.
   Ridley Court is the farmhouse for Ridley Court Farm, all the other farmhouses are cottage type. New Street Farm, and Dairy House Farm are the old local half brick half timber, while Black Horse Farm is all timber with thatched roof. Windows of the bedrooms in Black Horse Farm are practically at floor level. Old farm barns at New Street Farm and Black Horse Farm are constructed of old ships timbers, and have some interesting features. Dairy House Farm before 1900 was known as Wytchells and then probably was part of Cook’s Farm, Meopham.
   Holywell House and Park were bought by Mr Goddard, who knew kept some beautiful horses, some of these 

belonged to Bertram Mills’ Circus. A familiar sight in the neighbourhood was Mr Goddard’s elegant coach and four. After the death of Mr Goddard, his widow stayed on Holywell until after the Second World War, and then Mr Leslie Hugh Fletcher bought it. He converted it into flats, and in 1956 sold it to the Kent County Council, and it is now an Old Peoples Home.
   Goose Farm at Hodsoll Street until very recently owned by Mr John Bolster was farmed by some well known old families. In 1860 it was occupied by J. Seamark. It was also owned by Russells of Meopham, and Mr Fred Terry, who vacated Goose Farm some 30 years ago, and took the Home Farm, where he died in 1951, well over eighty years of age. The farm was then sold and the land divided between Dairy House, Pettings Court and Goose Farms.
   Pettings Farm is now owned by Mr W.C.R. Stoneham with Pettings Court as farmhouse. For many years before this it was owned by the Seaward family, who lived in the house opposite Pettings Court.
   An interesting item in connection with the original Holywell Park Estate is that about 1872, James and Joseph Fletcher gave the land for the building of Culverstone School. This land was part of their "South Street" property at Meopham.
