The tithe records of 1838 show that William Eckworth leased eleven acres of land in Thundersley. It comprised four fields, which he farmed with the help of two employees, a cottage, a smithy and the White Hart Inn.
It was called the Horseshoes Estate after the name of the local watering hole that predated the inn.The name, White Hart, which is recorded as early as 1797, reflects the hunting parks of the area.
