MEET YOUR HOST
John Charlton
Owner & Farmer
In 2019, John relocated to Harnham owing to the expansive growth of his cattle herd, which he had painstakingly cultivated over two decades and which had outpaced the capacity of his farm. Upon his initial arrival at the Harnham estate with his cattle, he found a cluster of dilapidated old structures. The historical charm of Harnham Hall, replete with folklore and century-old narratives, swiftly captured his heart. John embarked on the herculean task of refurbishing the Estate, aiming to revitalise the antiquated buildings that had lost their agricultural use.
Among the myriad of projects he has undertaken on the estate, Longriggs holds a special place in John’s heart. Located remotely in a corner of the hay meadow and encapsulated by a small stretch of woodland, the dilapidated byre at Longriggs beckoned to be saved.
John’s passion is not merely in the restoration of the estate but also in the stories and historical significance that it carries. In homage to the attention to detail that ancient builders invested in these structures, John believes it is his duty to utilise traditional materials as much as possible in their restoration. He prioritises the use of reclaimed materials when introducing new elements to the buildings, honouring the past while breathing life into the present.
