In 1855, the farm had been bought from Charles Laver Foakes and William Randall by a William Hockley and it was William who appeared as farmer there in Kellys Directory of 1855. By 1866 it was Henry Hockley and in 1874, John Hockley. The Farm together with the adjacent farm called Mockenherds were sold by William Hockley of High Easter at the Saracens Head in Great Dunmow on 9 October 1874 when Wellstye brought the princely sum of £3375.10s.0p. It still exists but is now owned by Essex County Council. Henry died at Wellstye on 3 January 1867. He was buried just in front of the entrance to Barnston Church.
