Quarr Farm
From The Muniment Room, a resource for social history, family history, and local history.
Quarr Farm (Quor, Quar), also known as Quarr Abbey Farm, was a farm on the Quarr Abbey Isle of Wight Estates. The farmhouse occupied the site of old Quarr Abbey.
It was surveyed by George Salmon in 1770; John Whitcher in 1817.
Quarr House was built on part of Quarr Farm from the 1840s, and after 1858 this property was conveyed to Sir Thomas Cochrane. Quarr Farm was sold by the Fleming Estate in 1912 to the modern monastery.
