Abstract:		 Shepherds Farm lies on the western edge of Tunstall, Suffolk, and formed a modest but respectable tenanted holding of 71 acres of chiefly arable land in 1840. All three farm buildings listed in the tithe survey of that year, viz. a barn, stable and granary, survived largely unaltered until the recent partial collapse of the stable. Each timber-framed structure dates from the early-19th century and probably reflects the development of marginal heath land during the Napoleonic wars (although the adjacent unlisted farmhouse dates from the mid-16th century). The farm was then part of a large estate belonging to the Sheppard family of Ash High House in neighbouring Campsey Ash. Complete farm complexes of this period are scarce in Suffolk, where most agricultural buildings were rebuilt or heavily altered during the mid-19th century, and the combined cartlodge and granary is a particularly good example of an increasingly rare type with unusual octagonal arcade and Sampson posts. A recommendation was made that, despite the condition of the stable, the buildings retain sufficient historic group value to merit listing at grade II, particularly given their conspicuous location at the southern entrance to the village.
