Exmoor
We know one group of Norfolk Greys was in existence sometime around 1950 because there are accounts of a breed called the Exmoor. It was 'established' in 1950 but is now extinct. Recorded in very few books it was described as coming from a 'Foundation stock consisting of Norfolk Grey, Houdan and Andalusian.' This is a bit surprising because the Norfolk Greys to breed Exmoors must have had one of the last sources of Norfolk Greys. However, it seems unlikely the mysterious Oxfordshire farmer was connected with the Exmoor.
