Quick Facts Location, Coordinates ...

The Ham stone farmhouse was built by John Stourton (died 1438), also known as 'Jenkyn' Stourton. As part of the manor of Preston Plucknett it was originally known as Preston Great Farm, and has always been in lay-ownership. The addition of "abbey" only occurred in the 19th century for reasons unknown.[1]

It is closely associated with the Abbey Barn[1] which is also Grade I listed.[2]
