Abstract:		 Church Farm occupies an unusual and picturesque site at the foot of a steep slope which descends from the arable field opposite St Peter's church to the meadow and marsh land in the valley bottom. It formed a modest tenanted holding of 54 acres in 1840. The three historic buildings form an unusually complete farmyard which has altered little since the early-19th century, but the adjacent farmhouse was demolished in circa 1960 and replaced by a bungalow at the top of the slope. A three-bay timber-framed barn of circa 1600 is adjoined by a rare and important early-17th century stable and hay loft which may represent the smallest example of its period in the county. A detached timber-framed neathouse (cow shed) to the south of the site dates from the 18th century and is unusual in that it too possesses a hay loft. The most impressive of the three buildings is a mid-17th century bakehouse which retains a complete 18th and early-19th century interior with no fewer than three coppers, an oven, boarded pump and stone sink. The structure was originally timber-framed with a fine brick gable and integral chimney which still survives, but its external walls were later rebuilt in brick. Bakehouses of this kind were once common in East Anglia but are now rare in anything approaching original condition, and this is the best example known to the author. Both the barn and bakehouse merit listing at grade II.
