William Child was probably the builder of the farmhouse now known as Luckings Farm. He was the brother of Richard Child who bought Hertfordshire Farm at the same time. William Child died in 1636, when the farm was inherited by his son James Child.
In 1687, James Child the elder of Coleshill yeoman and Eleanor his wife, along with their son James, raised a mortgage of £1,650 on Luckings Farm from James Harding of St Martins in the Fields, milliner. The farm remained the property of the Harding family throughout the 18th century but was bought in 1846 by Christopher Grove, owner of Hertfordshire Farm. His tenant at Luckings was John Keen.
Luckings Farm has remained in common ownership with Hertfordshire House and is now the property of Diana Heimann.
