Willow Farm, Saxham Street
Willow Farm seems to have been a short lived farm. In the early 20th century it was been farmed by Edgar Baker alongside Oak Tree Farm in Saxham Street.
In 1915 Edgar Baker was taken to court charged with moving one of his boars between Oak Tree Farm and Willow farm without a licence. With Swine Fever in the district no movement of swine was permiited without a signed order.

In 1915 Edgar Baker is farmer at Oak Tree Cottage but where he is living is unknown.
