Description:The Fallows family were tenants at Shugborough Park Farm between 1900 and 1926. From left to right: Annie, Annie Elizabeth, Thomas, Victor, Thomas Jr., John.

Thomas Anson, who inherited the Shugborough estate in 1789, was a keen agriculturist, eager to use the latest ideas and methods. He married Anne, daughter of Thomas Coke the celebrated agricultural pioneer.

The farm was designed by Samuel Wyatt (who was also employed by Coke in the construction of his farm buildings); Wyatt worked on many projects at Shugborough, including the lodge-houses.

Considered to be a 'model' farm, the buildings were constructed between 1803 and 1805 on the site of a former paper mill and included a farm steward's house, water corn-mill and brew-house.
