Abstract:		 Goldings Farm lies on the eastern edge of Sotterley parish and is bisected by its boundary with Henstead, which passes through the complex of farm buildings to the north of a grade II-listed early-19th century red-brick farmhouse in the Mock Gothic style. The property was one of several tenanted holdings on the large Sotterley Hall estate owned by the Barne family from 1744 until the present, and both the house and the barn to the north of the farm yard may have been rebuilt in response to the enclosure of rough grazing in the parish to create more arable land in 1796. The barn is a large and impressive red-brick structure which extends to 33.5 m (110 ft) in length and contains a central threshing area of five bays flanked by integral stables with hay lofts at both ends. The intact roof structure of staggered butt-purlins covered in modern corrugated asbestos is shallow-pitched, suggesting it was formerly pantiled to match the farmhouse, and its unusually large knee-braces resemble the arch-braces found in barns of the 18th century and before. The building illustrates the sophisticated nature of barns on large estates at the turn of the 19th century and can be compared with some of the best agricultural architecture found in the newly fashionable 'model' farmsteads of the period. Despite its historic interest it was extensively mutilated by the insertion of grain silos and milling machinery in the 20th century, losing both stable ceilings, and probably fails to meet the strict English Heritage criteria for listing in its own right. A series of brick cattle sheds and shelters was added to the southern elevation in the mid-19th century, reflecting the new yard-based system of mixed animal husbandry known today as Victorian High Farming These buildings include a granary that appears to retain part of a timber-framed predecessor that was shown along with the barn on the tithe map of 1843.
