After almost 100 years in the same family, White House Farm got a fresh start in March 2023, with Paul Isted and Verity Nicholson, 3 dogs, some sheep and a lot of help.

The new era will focus on farming in sympathy with the environment whilst day to day growing and rearing food responsibly and ethically.

Whilst there is a lot to do, there are some great opportunities as well, follow our story on facebook and thank you for your support.

Metal Detecting:   £20 per detectorist, each day, 7 days a week

The land has exceptional Roman provenance, with evidence of a road leading directly through the farm.  The river has attracted gatherings throughout the centuries and there is plenty of well documented local activity during the civil war and after.

  • Agreement to abide by the NCMD code of conduct
  • Payment of £20 (bring a non-detecting guest with you for free)
  • 5 detectors maximum per day on the farm
  • No detecting over growing crops. (A field map can be emailed or sent via WhatsApp, but the notice board in the courtyard is kept up to date)
  • 50/50 split of any find over £300
  • If your day is ruined by the weather and you spent less than 2hrs with us, we will give you a voucher for another day to be taken within 3 months.
  • Hours from 10am until 6pm (If you are going to arrive later please let us know so that we are not waiting for you)
