A BITTER FAMILY DISPUTE over the ownership
of a farm in Llangrove was played out
in the Court of Appeal in London last week.
Eileen Cook, 92, who has lived at Tredawdy
Farm since 1959, is fighting a legal campaign
to have her daughter and son-in-law evicted
from her home. They insist she made a series
of binding promises that they could stay there
as long as they liked, and that the farm would
be theirs when she died.
Last July, a judge ruled that Mrs Cook had
never given Pauline and Wyndham Thomas
clear permission to stay, and granted her a
possession order to force the couple off the
farm. Pauline Thomas was brought up on
Tredawdy Farm, and the couple has lived
there since 1996.
