Abstract:		 Charity Farm lies 750m east of Hemingstone parish church. The grade II-listed farmhouse is dated as 18th century. The timber-framed and thatched barn to the north lies at right-angles to the road but is now largely hidden by late-20th century sheds. Its thatched roof is fully hipped at both gables in a uniform and picturesque manner. The earliest part of the structure dates from the late-18th or early-19th century and may be contemporary with the farmhouse. It formed a small threshing barn of three bays with a clasped-purlin roof and vertical gables, but was extended within a few decades by a single bay to the east and three further bays to the west - more than doubling its original length. Both new additions contained lofts and probably formed a stable and cow-house respectively. The studwork of the original barn was infilled with wattle-and-daub and rendered externally while the extensions were weatherboarded, but (unusually) much of the latter was subsequently rendered to match the earlier walls. The eastern extension retains a good clasped-purlin roof while the western bays employ butt-purlins with a ridge-board and appear slightly later. The studwork of the original gables has been removed and the entire building is now undivided from end to end, with the two lofts substantially rebuilt in the late-20th century, but one of the two arch-braced open trusses of the three-bay barn still survives intact. Given the extent of these recent losses the building may not meet the strict English Heritage criteria for separate listing.
