In 2022 when Jackie was looking for a new home for her osteopathy clinic it was Catherine (sports massage therapist) who suggested Frogpool Manor Farm.
Jackie easily adapted to her new workspace in the old kitchen above the shop, enjoying its unique charm with views overlooking the paddocks and arena. The peaceful atmosphere was enhanced by squirrels scampering on the roof, and the playful antics of farm dogs. It isn’t unusual to see the ponies being schooled, and on one occasion one anxious pony was seen exploring the delights of David Dyers Saddles and enjoying a game of football with a Swiss ball.
When the site was sold, Jackie was offered a cabin on the land adjacent to the shop. Osteo & Therapy Hub finally arrived in 2024 thanks to Mrs Dyer and her family. With all amenities now in one building including 2 therapy rooms Jackie has gathered a team to help her develop her dream.
Her vision is clear: to unite like-minded therapists dedicated to empowering patients on their journey to reclaiming control of their health.
History of Frogpool Manor Farm
Frogpool Manor Farm, a 17th-century house, was never a manor house and was originally known as Butts Farm which had a granary and large barn. The Thatched Cottage just the other side of Thompsons Garden centre was probably built for the farm workers.
The farm became a gentleman’s residence and then eventually home to livery stables, with up to 30 horses. In 1979 David Dyers Saddles was established, and was eventually joined by Frogpool Manor Restaurant and an equestrian supplies and feed supplier until it was sold in 2023 to developers. It was then resold to the Yog Foundation who are developing the site as a Mandir (Hindu name for home) and a Cultural Community Centre.
The house itself is a Grade 2 listed building with 17th century chimney stacks, and 18th century window sashes.
