Abstract:		 Sparrows Hall lies at the western end of the hamlet of Stanstead Street, approximately 700 metres south of Stanstead Hall and St James' church. Formerly known as Sparrows Farm, the grade II-listed 17th century house formed a smallholding of 49 acres in 1838 but the house and land were let separately by their owner. The site is now part of a modern ribbon development, and the barn complex behind the house is used as stabling. The barn is a typical mid-19th century timber-framed and weatherboarded structure of three bays on a tall flint and brick plinth with an integral lean-to porch and shed to the south. A small neathouse and open-sided cattle shelter were added to its south-western corner at a slightly later date, along with a second shelter shed facing the northern paddock, and a large brick and flint vehicle shed was built against its eastern gable. The resulting complex formed a self-contained cattle unit of modest proportions and mixed traditional materials that illustrates the lower end of the mid-Victorian agricultural revolution (in contrast to the architect-designed 'model farms' built at the same time by local gentleman farmers). Despite these points of historic and aesthetic interest, the buildings are not of sufficient age or rarity to merit listing in their own right.
