Records of farming across more than one County

Rex Paterson Collection Reference Number: FR PAT Rex Munro Paterson OBE was born in 1902 in London, the son of a clergyman. He worked on farms in Kent, travelled to Canada and worked on farms in Halifax, Ontario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia before returning to England and Winchester in 1924. He set up on his own in 1927, renting an 80 acre farm and getting married. He left this farm in 1929, having made a profit and bought a 400 acre farm in Wiltshire, again he made a profit enabling him to buy 300 more acres. In 1937 he expanded into Sussex and Basingstoke, by 1942 he had added more than 10 000 acres to his empire. He had farms in Hatch Warren, Kingsclere, Micheldever, Stockbridge and Alresford. He split his farms into units that were big enough to be managed by one man (a sub manager or foreman) under the control of a general manager who was responsible for a group of farms. Rex Paterson (Farms) Ltd was founded in 1954.
