Herbert Scott Jr.’s brother John Bryan (a.k.a. Jack) Scott purchased our farm, School Farm in 1911 at an auction in King’s Lynn. On his death, Jack left School Farm to his sister Elizabeth (Lizzy) Scott.
Lizzy passed the farm down to her eldest nephew George Robert Scott (of Old Hall Farm, Toftwood nr. Dereham) who in turn left it to his youngest brother Thomas Herbert (a.k.a. Tom) Scott.
Tom Scott ran a mixed 100 hectare farm with breeding ewes, arable crops and a gravel quarry. He spent most of his life hunting with the West Norfolk Foxhounds and served as Joint Secretary and later Joint Master.
Tom’s son Hugh has lived and farmed at School Farm with his wife Suzie since 1985 and they have grown the business into an 800 hectare contract farming operation, incorporating precision farming technology.
