===Tull's farm=== After Tull's death, his holdings of about {{convert |70 |acre}} of freehold land in Berkshire found their way into [[Court of Chancery|Chancery]], and were sold by order in 1784 to a Mr Blandy. Tull held about {{convert |130 |acre}} of additional land by a different tenure. The old brew-house he dwelt in has been modernised, but remains largely intact β as late as 1840 it was said to be in very good condition. Of the outhouses, Tull's granary and his stables remain, although deteriorating. At the end of the granary, which Tull built, is an old well. When it was cleared out some years ago, there was found under the accumulated mud of nearly a century a three-pronged hoe, which is likely to have belonged to Tull and is now in the museum of the [[Royal Agricultural Society of England]]. It may have been thrown by his men, who adopted new types of tool with reluctance and reportedly thwarted him in many ways.<ref name="CWJ 1844 pp. 1056β57"/> Tull's Prosperous Farm in the rural parish of [[Shalbourne]], under the Coomb Hills about {{convert|4|mi|0}} south of [[Hungerford]], long remained an object of interest to lovers of agriculture. [[Arthur Young (agriculturist)|Arthur Young]] made a pilgrimage there<ref>''Annals of Agr.'', Vol. xxiii, p. 173.</ref> and [[William Cobbett]] did the same.<ref>Johnson (1844, p. 1060)</ref> The farmhouse was rebuilt in the 19th century.<ref>{{National Heritage List for England|num=1034015|desc=Prosperous|access-date=20 January 2020}}</ref>
