Default Why did the Metropolitan Railway go to Verney Junction?

Do farms not count as settled?


In this context, only the part with the farmhouse on it.


Why? Settled land means that thats lived on. That doesn't just mean the house
it means all land under the same deeds. Otherwise you can't count gardens
as settled land either.


You can count the farmhouse's garden (if it has one), but not the
fields, because they are a business.
