The Erland Lee farm sat at the north end of Tapleytown Road. Dating back to the 1790s, the Lees became one of the prominent Saltfleet families in the mid 19th century, before declining in the mid 20th.

The most famous personages from the family were Erland and Janet Lee, who helped found the world's first rural women's organization, the Women's Institutes (est. 1897).
