From An Inventory of the Historical Monuments in Essex, Volume 1, North West (1916)
Little Bulls Farm, house, nearly 2 m. N.E. of the church, was built early in the 17th century; there is an addition, possibly of later 17th-century date, at the N. end of the E. side. The S. end of the house and part of the N. side have been refaced with modern brick. On the W. and N. elevations of the original block the timber-framing is exposed and has brick nogging, apparently original.
The Staight family bought the farm in 1951 from the Church Army and have farmed it ever since. Joe Staight’s grandfather originally came to Hempstead in 1932 to work as the farm bailiff on the Hempstead Hall emigration colony
