Description:Yew Tree Farm is situated off Gnosall Road, Knightley.

The date stone over the doorway gives a date of 1870, probably the date at which the house was rebuilt. An article in the Newport & Market Drayton Advertiser, 27 July 1889 reads: "... previous to 1812, [Yew Tree Farm] was in the occupation of Mr. Richard Stokes; at which date it came into the occupation of his relative, Mr. Bellingham, and remained in the family until 1888; now Mr. Watkiss farms it."

Yew Tree Farm House has recently (2025) been advertised as six-bedroomed self-catering accommodation.
