Abstract:		 Barrow Hall is on the northern edge of Barrow. The grade II-listed farmhouse is ostensibly from the 17th century but possibly of earlier origin. At the time of the 1839 tithe survey the property was a tenanted farm of 1079.5 acres on Ickworth estate. The substantial timber-framed and thatched barn to the south of the farmhouse is separately listed at grade II. Built in nine bays with two threshing floors and a rear aisle it occupies the precise position of an earlier barn shown in 1597. It extends >34 m in length and contains an impressive array of original arch-braces to its tie-beams and arcade plates. Much of the 'two-tier' external pargeted lime plaster above weatherboarding to the northern facade is also original, but the two hipped porches to the same elevation appear to have been added shortly afterwards. Their exposed render retains traces of the red ochre with which many local farm buildings were treated before the advent of tar in the late-19th century. Although dated to the late-17th or early-18th century in the Schedule of Listed Buildings, the structure is in fact a fine example of an early-19th century 'Napoleonic' barn, and it continues to merit listing despite this later origin. The roof structure of clasped purlins with a lower tier of butt-purlins and fully hipped gables survives largely intact, although the aisle roof has been rebuilt and altered during the 19th century. A series of sheds of flint was added to the western gable in circa 1870.
