Abstract:		 Elm Farm lies in open countryside 750 metres south-east of St Mary's church and Helmingham Hall. The adjacent farmhouse is a grade II*-listed building which dates chiefly from the early-17th century but retains a late-medieval cross-wing. The farm buildings form a large and sophisticated mid-19th century complex of red-brick and pantiled structures which illustrate the yard-based system of intensive animal husbandry known as Victorian High Farming. The complex replaced a group of three detached outbuildings shown on the map of 1840 and may well occupy the site of the medieval farm yard, but was first shown in its present form on the Ordnance Survey of 1884. The most substantial building is a timber-framed and weatherboarded threshing barn of five bays with a tall brick plinth and a rear lean-to shed that appears to have replaced an earlier porch. This shed contains well-preserved graffiti including apotropaic circles and the names of 19th century labourers. A stable to the west contains a narrow tack room with early harness hooks and an original brick floor, while the detached cart lodge and granary at the eastern site entrance is a particularly good example of its type. A range of late-19th century pig sties with low-walled yards to the south is also an unusual survival but several other buildings, including a neat-house have been extensively altered in recent years by attempts at conversion. The site has also been largely stripped of historic fixtures and fittings and accordingly no longer meets English Heritage criteria for listing.
