Abstract: |
Wenham Hill lies on the ridge of a hill in open countryside at the southern edge of Great Wenham parish, and was formerly known as Wenhamhill Farm. The house is a grade II-listed building with impressive early-17th century chimneys dated in the Schedule to the '16th century or earlier'. The timber-framed and weatherboarded barn and a brick shed currently used as garaging to the north of the house are the only survivors of a large complex of farm buildings. The barn is a six-bay structure of considerable historic interest. It was built in the early-17th century as a three-bay barn with a central porch to the east and a fourth bay at its northern end that was partitioned to form a stable. The original barn was extended in the mid or late-18th century by the remarkable method of inserting two additional bays into its centre and moving one or both ends outwards. |
