Abstract:		 Hawkins Farm lies in open countryside on the road between Mendlesham and Stowmarket. The farmhouse is a grade II-listed timber-framed property dating to the 16th century which is now disguised by a late-19th century gault-brick facade. The pantiled farm complex to the north of the house includes a substantial timber-framed and weatherboarded barn of seven bays and a three-bay contemporary cart lodge with a first-floor granary adjoining its roadside gable. Both the barn and cart lodge are exceptional examples of their respective types of traditional East Anglian farm building. The former is of special historic interest as an almost completely intact early-19th century threshing barn of advanced and sophisticated construction that is precisely dated to 1822 by a carpenters' inscription in the roof. The herringbone threshing floor is among the best in Suffolk, while the inscription in red ochre is the most remarkable example of its kind in East Anglia. It names the local carpenters involved in the raising of a new frame less than three months after its predecessor was destroyed by fire - possibly in the well documented outbreak of riotous agrarian incendiarism that year. The cart lodge is also among the best preserved examples in the region and both buildings fully meet the English Heritage criteria and should be listed together at grade II.
