Church Farm

Church Farm puts you pride of place in the middle of one of England’s oldest and finest counties.

Which means there’s something for every age and interest.

The village of Drayton has everything you need, thanks to a collection of local amenities. From quintessential farm shops and traditional farmers’ markets to high street
staples, such as a Post Office, an Estate Agents and a Tesco Superstore. The much-loved leisure centre hosts a range of sports and social events, while the Grand Edwardian
mansion, Drayton Old Lodge (set in 10 acres of land) provides the perfect place to celebrate special occasions.

Village life and public houses go hand in hand, and The Cock Inn and The Red Lion don’t disappoint when it comes to the traditional English pub experience. Both establishments serve a menu packed with delicious dishes. The Cock Inn boasts a child-friendly beer garden while The Red Lion is part of the Greene King Group.
Drayton’s history dates back to Roman times and the village is even mentioned in the Domesday Book. The remains of a Grade II listed medieval house are still visible today.
