Facts and Events
In 1706 Thomas Browne wrote to Edward Farmer that "your cosen John Farmer that lives at Nuneaton, ... is a very ritch man and drives a great trade of maulting trade, besides his proper trade of fellmonger." His estate was valued at over 1000 pounds. He calls himself a "merchant trader" in his will but his tomb says, "John Farmer, of Nuneaton, gent." (Taylor)
