  21. My mum lives in Bintree and every time i go to visit i walk around these woods some large old beech in one hedge line. This wood was six farms part of the Holkam Hall estate the farms and all hoses and buildings were knocked down to plant the wood. Also the estate owns the playing field and bowls club and they are trying to get permission to build houses on this land so no more village bowls. Bintree is now the end village of the estate but it used to go a lot further inland. My step dad has lived there all his life and used to work horses for an estate farm them were the days he says:001_smile:
