In the 1891 Census, it goes by the name of 'Owlsgreve Farm'.
The servants at the Farm at that time, were 4 men, 2 women. The men's names were -:Thomas Limb, Thomas Dunicliff, Samuel Whitaker and Charles Phippa, or perhaps Phippas.

The head of the family who owned the farm at that time, was Mr. Samuel Fox Hunt, aged 26.....well, that's how it reads anyway. His wife's name was Camilla A. aged 22.

All these name variations for the Hall/farm over the years, it makes you wonder IF we have ever really heard the original name in the first place?
