For those of you who enjoy a little history, the story of how Laythams Farm came about is quite a journey with several generations of the Wenner family coming together to create a unique place, set in breathtaking surroundings. Let’s start in 1969 when Michael Wenner (Died November 2021 aged 99) first became aware of the property. His four sons were at nearby Stonyhurst College, and on his return from ambassadorial duties abroad, he received a tip-off from an old friend who knew he was looking to purchase a property not far from where his sons were at school. What he found was a traditional Pennine longhouse built in the 1500s, (though the exact date remains unclear). What we do know is that the property was marked on a map in 1591, under the name Grass Yard Enclosure.
