Description: This farm was Willey Farm in D H Lawrence's 'Sons and Lovers'. The early writing of D H Lawrence was done in secret, under the guise of 'lessons', at home. The only person to see this very early work was Jessie Chambers, a fellow pupil-teacher and close friend who lived at Haggs Farm. This farm and family provided a second home for the adolescent Lawrence, away from the strains of his own family. Here, he helped with the hay-making, discussed books and organised charades. Haggs Farm was the home of 'Miriam' (Jessie Chambers) in 'Sons and Lovers'.
