Easter Middleton was originally called Wester Middleton according to the 1st Edition OS Map, however in the subsequent editions it takes it?s present name. Easter and Wester Middleton farms were the principal farms on the Middleton estate. The outbuildings of the farm were originally arranged as a courtyard. The steadings were raised a storey in the late 19th century, and have since been much altered, completely losing the cart sheds and stables.
