The Rayner family has been farming in the Colnbrook area since the reign of Elizabeth I.  In 1945, the family purchased Berkyn Manor Farm & Manor House in Horton, together with 60 acres of land (the site of Berkyn Manor was also the home to the famous poet, Milton, and his parents from 1632 to 1638).  In 1954, J Rayner & Sons Ltd was founded from the original farming partnership.
