Abstract: |
Wood Farm lies in open countryside 2 km south-east of St Nicholas's chapel and the adjacent site of Gipping Hall. An unusual linear pond divides the site from the adjoining pasture and may represent the remains of a medieval moat. The grade II listed timber-framed and rendered farmhouse is dated to the mid-16th century. Its conspicuous location is typical of 16th century park lodges but by 1846 the farm was a modest holding of 46 acres on the Gipping estate belonging to Charles Tyrell of Polstead Hall. The outbuilding which flanks the entrance to the farmhouse is a small, single-storied clay-lump structure with a pantiled roof which dates from the third quarter of the 19th century. The interior retains its original partitions and contains a central vehicle shed flanked on the west by a small storage shed and a 'double-seater' privy and on the east by a larger storage shed. The privy contains a lath-and-plaster ceiling that is probably original and its internal walls are whitewashed, while those of the smaller storage and vehicle sheds are rendered with clay daub. The interior of the eastern shed is not rendered suggesting that it was originally boarded and formed a tack room. The structure forms a typical service outbuilding, although the location of the privy to the front of the house is unusual. While it represents a good example of an increasingly rare form, the building is not of sufficient age or architectural merit to justify listing in its own right. |
