Abstract:		 Abbey Farm lies in open countryside approximately 500 m NW of Snape Bridge and Snape Maltings on the River Alde. The site is of considerable importance as it was occupied by Snape Priory between circa 1155 and its dissolution in the 1520s, and preserves a rare grade II*-listed timber-framed aisled barn of circa 1300. With the exception of the barn, no obvious traces of monastic buildings survive above ground. The single-storied, slate-roofed farm buildings adjoining the timber framed barn formed part of a new horse and cattle yard complex of circa 1870 as shown on the Ordnance Survey of 1882 but not the tithe map of 1848. They reflect the mid-19th century agricultural revolution now known as Victorian High Farming which saw cattle reared in yards. A pair of open-sided shelter-sheds flanked a horse yard to the west and a probable cattle yard to the east, suggesting the western end of the medieval barn had been converted into a stable. While these sheds remain substantially intact, the probable cow-shed at the eastern end of the barn is no longer recognisable. A small, detached brick workshop to the west is broadly contemporary with the yard ranges and adjoined a small yard of its own in the 19th century. It was much altered during the 20th century. Given the extent of their alterations the 19th century farm buildings are of limited historic significance, but serve to provide an agricultural context for the listed barn.
