Abstract:		 Dairy Farm Barn lies at the former site of Brightwell Hall, which was demolished in the mid-18th century. By 1806 both the Hall and Dairy Farms belonged to Sir John Kenward Shaw of Eltham Lodge in Kent. An 1806 sketch plan shows Dairy Farm as a tenanted holding of 143 acres, and outlines a barn on approximately the same site as the existing structure. The barn is a timber-framed and weatherboarded threshing barn of five bays with a central entrance in its southern elevation facing the former farmhouse. It contains an intact and impressive roof of staggered butt-purlins and combines both arch-braces and knee-braces in the typical manner of the early-19th century. The framing is of high quality, reflecting its construction for a gentry estate, and the building represents a good 'Napoleonic' barn which illustrates Suffolk's agricultural boom in the wake of wartime import restrictions and high cereal prices: It is accordingly of both historic and structural interest. The barn's traditional appearance and conspicuous location in the landscape, overlooking a valley to the north, provides additional local significance. Despite its relatively early origin, however, the building has probably been too heavily altered to meet the strict English Heritage criteria for listing, although the case is marginal: the loss of its original thatch and porch is relevant in this respect, together with the insertion of several additional doors into its wall fabric. The rest of the farm complex is 20th century, and is not in itself of special historic interest.
