What About Moorfield Today?

A query about Alec Crozier, who appears on the Partial Family Tree page, made me realise that many of you may not know that Moorfield is still in the family. Alec Crozier was the son of Joseph and Catherine Crozier who remained on the farm and passed it on to his son Joe. Joe was my father's cousin and a regular caller at our house in Trillick.

Joe's daughter Betty and her family are still living at Moorfield. The house where the 19th Century family grew up was replaced long ago by another dwelling house but it still stands, somewhat altered, in the yard. A new bungalow has also been built on the lane up to the farm and Betty's son and his family live there.

The views from Moorfield are terrific and I've included a few photos of the original house and the surroundings, although the weather wasn't the best the day I took them.

I do think it's pretty special to think that the same family has had unbroken occupation of this farm for at least 200 years and probably a lot longer!
