The new owner of Church Farm, Ockbrook, has told me that he is fully committed to turning the building into a family home.
He already has builders tidying up the place ready for its transformation. This Grade 11 listed building has been empty for about 30 odd years and I was really concerned about its future. Now it looks like it will have a new lease of life and be maintained in a manner befitting such a setting right next to All Saints' Church.

| TIMBER FRAMED CHURCH FARM |
I was a bit annoyed about the lack of a proactive role played by Erewash B.C. in its preservation. Recently following my taking up the issue the Ockbrook and Borrowash Historical Society launched a petition to pressurise Erewash into action. Despite the apparent lack of concern shown by the Council and the absence of any meaningful reply to my complaints or the Historical Societies petition it seems there is light at the end of the tunnel. Good luck to the new owner of Church Farm!
