The Humphris family was well known in farming circles all over the Cotswolds having farmed there for over 300 years In the later 17th century and the early 18th parts of the open fields were tilled every year and it had long been accepted practice to plough up parts of the commons, including the Oxleaze, for a number of years. The hills at Hamden, where Goddard Carter employed a shepherd, were devoted mainly to pasture but corn was also grown there. Puckham farm continued to be used primarily for raising sheep and cattle, the owner in the 1680s removing his sheep from the parish during the lambing and shearing seasons to avoid paying tithes, and in the mid 18th century, although in divided ownership, it remained a single farm, worked by the Bastin family.  In the mid 18th century the Tracys' estate included farms worked from houses at Lower Sevenhampton, Oxleaze, and Whitehall and cottages at Brockhampton held under leases for terms of three lives. By 1778 Whitehall farm was worked together with a farm in Bishop's Cleeve.
