History

Established in 2007.

What originally stood on the site of The Gables is difficult to say. It has a small amount of cultivated land with it, suggesting some possible farming, although it would not have been a major working farm, it was more likely to have been the home of a gentleman.

There is also a strong possibility that it could have been an Inn. John Macadam, the renowned road builder and engineer, is known to have stayed at The Gables whilst work on the A38 road was being completed. This would have been in the early 1800s, although whether he was a paying guest at The Gables because it was an Inn, or whether he was a private guest of the owner is unknown.

Certainly by the late 1800s the property was known as ‘Falfield Villa’ and was occupied by a local farmer and his family in his retirement (Farmer Bennett from nearby Falfield Green Farm).

In April 2007 Michael Webb and family purchased the property and reverted back to the original name of The Gables.
