Abstract:		 Proctor's Barn lies in open countryside, approximately 2.5 km south-east of Walsham. The building is shown on 1819 and 1842 maps as an isolated field barn, serving a holding of 34 acres rented from The Grove estate by the eponymous John Proctor. The present farmhouse to the west of the barn is an addition of the mid-19th century. Neither building is listed, but the barn is an unusual multi-phase timber-framed structure of considerable historic interest. It consists of four bays, a roof of glazed pantiles and remains of tarred weatherboarding beneath its present external cladding of corrugated iron. The two bays to the east date from the mid-17th century and probably formed a neathouse (cow shed) with a narrow doorway to the south and an internal partition. Isolated animal sheds of this period are very rare, and the building survived only because it was converted into a barn in the 18th century by adding two further bays of greater height and width to the west. The two structures were re-roofed in the 19th century when the 17th century walls were raised and a new cattle yard was added to the south. With the exception of a clay-lump shelter-shed the buildings associated with this yard have been demolished, and the remaining lean-to sheds date only from the 20th century. The 18th century wall framing of the main barn survives largely intact, but despite its historic interest the building is probably too heavily altered to meet the stringent criteria for listing.
