West Yoke Farm House
This house is situated at the top of West Yoke Hill and is another of the old farm houses. It is reputed to be 15th century and is brick built with low ceilings, great beams, large open fireplaces and stone floors. It has no bathroom nor flush lavatory. In 1860 records we read that it was occupied by Mr Lidyard. It was for many years occupied by the late Tom Hollands, uncle to John W. Hollands of Rumney Farm. It is one of the farms still attached to the Fawkham Manor Estate. Another member of the Hollands family, William Hollands, now occupies the house.

Mann's Farm House (Mann's Farm)
This house is situated in West Yoke. It is one of the very old timber farm houses. It has the usual big oak beams, low ceilings, also evidence of the large open fire and bread oven and other interesting features which are 

found in these old houses dating back 200-300 years or more. About 100 years ago this house was a Dame School kept by Mrs Edward Oliver who had been a Miss Fletcher of Rands House, Holywell Park. For many years it was occupied by Mr Crowhurst, father of the late Frank Crowhurst of North Ash. Then the property was bought by Sir Thomas Hohler K.C.M.G., C.B. and John Hollands (father of John W. Hollands of Rumney Farm) moved in. The house was then enlarged and a bath installed. About the year 1934 the property was bought by the late Victor James and was renovated with the care exercised only by those who revere old buildings. He was an ardent student of flints as recorded under the heading "Excavations". After the war it became the property of Mr Clarkson (son of Mrs James by a previous marriage). Although furnished, it has not been lived in or cared for and is in a very bad state of repair.
