What is recorded here

This blue commemorative plaque records: Ashtree Farm. Built in three stages over the centuries, this farmhouse had become derelict and dilapidated and was saved from demolition and restored by Bill Hardman in 1970. Yeoman farmer John Wilson, who was born here, married Elizabeth Green of Bebington in 1697 and had a marriage stone put into the front gable wall.
Ashtree Farm, saved from demolition by Bill Hardman in 1970, has historical significance due to its multi-century construction and as the birthplace of yeoman farmer John Wilson. John Wilson, born at Ashtree Farm, commemorated his marriage to Elizabeth Green in 1697 with a stone inset into the front gable wall, marking a personal yet historically notable event.
