Swallowfield (Berkshire)
Built 1st Jan 1729
Farley Hall, Swallowfield in Berkshire, a Grade I house, was built c. 1729-1730 for 'John Walter.' LBS has inferred this to have been John Walter MP, although the history of the house and its transmission via Newton Walter nee Walker to her husband John Walter, grandson of John Walter MP, has not been fully researched by us.
