Can anyone tell me what is or was Clawson Lodge. My grandfather, George Barlow, was born at there in 1880 and lived in and around the Long Clawson area for about 25 years. I am wondering if the lodge was a large house where his father worked on the farm.
Any info would be much appreciated.

Clawson Lodge still exists, and presumably was originally the Lodge to Clawson Hall. I have a copy of a photo of it. I've only just found this website and seen this message, and funnily enough, my great-grandfather Hallam lived there before your grandfather. I don't think he would have owned it. He was still living at Hose when married in 1864. So I am not sure when he first lived at Clawson Lodge, but it was his address when his eldest son was born in 1869. It was a farm, but I don't know whether he lived in the farmhouse itself, or whether a worker in other accommodation within the farm. He was a labourer at his marriage and a shepherd by 1881, and seems to have moved from farm to farm. He had moved on to Scalford by the time the next child was born in 1872.
His father, my great-great grandfather Hallam was a farmer with a 60 acre farm according to the 1861 census in Hose at "Farm House A Lodge Called Brookhills Hall, East End" which I don't know anything about as yet. I can't find my grandfather listed in the 1861 census info on 1837online. He would have been 19 and presumably had left home, though an older brother hadn't.
Any more info would be much appreciated.

| I know of Brock Hill Hall which is up Pasture Lane (I know this road better as Station Lane) very close to the site of Clawson and Hose Station). My dad (Norman Sneath) used to go bailing hay up there in the sixties when he used to work for Laurie Burnett ____________________

Thanks for that.
Knowing the errors that crop up in transcription (while appreciating just how difficult transcription can be) I think it probably was Brock Hill Hall rather than Brookhill Hall.
I haven't looked at the original image yet.
I have now looked at the present day map and found Brock Hill Hall.
Do you know if the old farm buildings still exist or has it all been modernised.
Thanks

Kath - I've just logged on here for the first time for a while and saw your email. When my grandfather was born at Clawson Lodge, his father was listed as a grazier, but 12 months later in the 1881 census, was listed as an agricultural labourer. I think there must have been accommodation for farm workers at Clawson Lodge, as I do not believe my great-grandfather could have owned it. He also moved around the Vale of Belvoir over 20 years, farming in various villages. I also have some very nice photos of the Lodge, which a kind person in Long Clawson took for me. Can we find a way I could send them to you?

Hi,
On the subject of Clawson Lodge. We have a early pioneer called Thomas Bourke who called his property or place of residence 'Clawson Lodge'. Now, doing a search on Google there is only one entry for Clawson Lodge so maybe Thomas called his new place after his home far away in England, lots did this in our area.
Doing research into Thomas Bourke for our Historical Interest Group here at Craigieburn in Melbourne Australia and any help would be appreciated.
