I now co-own Leodest Cottage, assuming that we are talking about the same place as we are told this is not its original name. (Just north of Leodest Farm on the same side)We found some old newspapers, letters etc in what was left of the loft whilst renovating it. You are welcome to see if any of it is any help to you, if indeed you are still looking as I realise it is several years since your original post.
