Abstract: |
Bridge Farm adjoins the western side of the road in Haughley New Street, approximately 1.5 km west of Haughley village. The barn lies to the north of a 19th century cattle yard immediately behind the grade II-listed, timber-framed and rendered farmhouse which dates from the early-15th century. At the time of the tithe survey the farm was a modest tenanted holding with 28.5 acres. The barn is an unusual timber-framed structure of two different phases. The two eastern bays date from the mid-17th century and retain their original arch-braces and a clasped-purlin roof which is steeply pitched for thatch but is now covered with 19th century pantiles. A good threshing floor of gault brick survives in the entrance bay, together with large areas of wattle-and-daub and early external render. The two western bays, in contrast, date only from the early-19th century and occupy a slightly different alignment to the eastern bays. They lie beneath a low roof that was designed for its present pantiles, and may have replaced an older stable on the site. Both sections of the barn contain re-used timber from medieval buildings, including soot-encrusted studs and evidence of diamond-mullion windows that may derive from the farmhouse. Its varying roof lines and mixed cladding of daub and weatherboarding creates a picturesque exterior that complements the street scene and the immediate context of the house. Despite its age and undoubted historic interest the barn has been too heavily altered to meet the strict English Heritage criteria for listing. |
