Creslow Manor
Creslow is a unique and historic parish nestled in the heart of rural Buckinghamshire.
​
The estate is steeped in history and was once used as a grazing ground for the Royal Table.
​
The Manor house dates back to 1327 and is the oldest continually inhabited house in Buckinghamshire.

Cattle at Creslow
Cattle have been grazed here since the 13th Century and were fattened for Henry VIII ‘s table at Hampton Court.
It was later farmed by John Westcar, who won the first Royal Smithfield Show in 1799 with his prize winning Hereford (left).
​
The Turville Herd of pedigree Limousins was established in 1991 by Brian & Linda Lear and we introduced Black Limousins in 2008.
​
The Herd is treated commercially with emphasis on ease of calving, docility and carcass traits which is why we introduced Black Limousins giving us the added benefit of polled Limousin genetics.
The Farm Today
Today the farm is run as a mixed beef and arable enterprise growing wheat, oats, barley and beans.
​
We grow all our own feed for the cattle in the form of clamp grass and whole crop silage
as well as round bale hay, silage and straw,
these are fed in a variety of rations with the cereals we grow.
​
The breeding herd currently stands at 420 female pedigree Limousin's with a view to getting up to 500 in the future.
​
We run a closed herd breeding all our own replacements and fatten everything ourselves on farm.
