Property History
Yew Tree farmhouse is a Grade II listed building and was built in 1713. It is said to have got its name from an old large Yewtree, which stood on the corner of Bent Lanes and Davyhulme road, adjacent to the farmhouse.
John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, is known to have preached under this tree on a regular basis. The tree was taken down for road widening and pieces of its trunk and branches were then scattered up and down the country and treasured as family heirlooms. Two pieces can be seen in Davyhulme Methodist Church.
Records do not show who built Yew Tree Farm, but the date stone carries the letters jwm. This could be attributed to one of the Mather family, who were prominent farmers in the area in the 18th century.
Davyhulme Hall stood nearby and was demolished in 1888. A door was removed from the hall and installed at Yew Tree Farm to act as its front door. This is fitted with a backplate, dated iwm 1717, thought to be the oldest front door in Lancashire.
