CURSLEY'S FARM, CHURCHAM, GLOUCESTERSHIRE.
Cursley's Farm, Churcham, Gloucestershire.
'A house standing by itself further east was formerly called Cursleys Farm, its name being changed to Beauchamp
House in the early 19th century. There was a house on the site by 1516 and perhaps by c. 1267 when William de
Corsliche was one of the tenants of Churcham manor. The house was rebuilt shortly before 1740 as a two-storied
brick building with a central gabled projection; the sash windows and the round-headed window in the central projection may
have been added later'.
