Help Wanted

Mrs. Margaret Turner, Chesham, Bucks

Bucklebury

I am looking for the owners and history of two houses and a farm in the Bucklebury area. According to family legend there is a prep school just outside Bucklebury which may have been a minor stately home. The building may have been owned by a Lady Pyke or Pryke and have been used by the army in the war (it may have been a barracks or hospital). I am also trying to identify Holly Farm House. There was possibly a dispute between the occupier, John Morton, and another named Herridge over an inheritance. Who owns the land and farmhouse now?
