1941-42 Farm Survey

National Archives, MAF32/936/215

The Ministry of Food carried out a survey of all farms in 1941-42, partly by direct inspection (the section headed FARM SURVEY) and partly by sending out forms which were part of the census on 4 June 1941. The information below has been extracted from the forms which were filed in the "Winslow" box. In some cases the Farm Survey and inspector's report was not located.

Bridge and Kiln Farms
This seems to refer to what is now Brickyard Farm.

The following "WW/Winslow" numbers are missing: 1, 4, 15, 25, 30, 32. They may refer to land in Winslow farmed by people who lived elsewhere, but some Winslow smallholders are not included above (C.J. Crook, Frank Warner, J. Rawlings). It's possible that they were missed when going through the Winslow box, or they could have been filed in another box or lost. The documents within the box are filed in three separate batches, and individual sheets could easily become separated from the names to which they refer.
