Abstract:		 Brook House Farm is one of two farmsteads which define the extent of a medieval green in the north-eastern corner of Henley parish, and until recently was known as Broadgreen Farm. For this reason alone it forms an historically important feature in the local landscape. The layout of the scattered group of farm buildings has changed little since the tithe survey of 1838, and represents a rare example of a traditional Suffolk farm complex. Most groups this kind were wholly or substantially rebuilt to achieve greater unity and efficiency during the agricultural revolution of the mid-19th century, but the only concession to the new fashion in this instance was the provision of uniform pantiled roofs. The buildings include an 18th century timber-framed granary of unusual form (probably with a neathouse on its lower storey), a combined cart lodge and shelter-shed, and an early-19th century detached stable with a hay rack and loft. The oldest building on the site is a mid-17th century timber-framed barn which adjoins the horse pond and contains a small additional stable in a secondary lean-to. Originally extending to three bays with a central entrance its walls contain curved and exceptionally massive primary braces and it preserves a good threshing floor of gault brick. The barn was extended to the south by one bay and re-roofed in the 18th century, but remains an impressive survival nonetheless. A series of apotropaic (evil-averting) circular symbols on the internal plaster of its porch are also of historic value.
