Modern day Briddlesford Lodge Farm has been in the hands of the Griffin family since 1923, when Great-Grandfather Charles Griffin left Grove Farm in Adgestone and walked over the Downs with his family, animals and all of their possessions to start a new life at Briddlesford.

Under Charles it was a mixed farm with sheep, dairy, pigs, poultry and cereal crops. Over the years the farm has become more and more specialised, the sheep went in 1935, the pigs in 1956 and poultry and cereals in the 1990s. However the herd of Guernsey cows has remained constant, with all of the current 140-strong herd descending from the 15 cows Charles walked over the Downs in 1923. The herd received pedigree status in 2000.
