Abstract: |
Page's Green Farm lies in open countryside and adjoins a common that was formerly known as Wetheringsett Green. The small area which survived the enclosure was re-named Page's Green after Thomas Page the farm tenant as recorded on the tithe survey. At this date the farm was a modest tenanted holding of 39 acres with 1.75 'common rights' on the green. The timber-framed farmhouse contains an early-17th century parlour bay with ovolo-moulded windows which adjoins a possible older hall range, but appears to have been omitted from the Schedule of Listed Buildings. The timber-framed barn consists of a three-bay threshing barn with a central entrance and an integral single-bay stable with a hay loft. The pantiled roof structure is a late-19th century replacement but in other respects the fabric is unusually well preserved including the original internal partition and a gault-brick threshing floor. Although now weatherboarded the walls were initially rendered externally and substantial areas of wattle-and-daub and whitewashed clay render remain in situ. The barn is accordingly of considerable historic interest, representing a fine example of a typical Suffolk multi-function form in its original landscape context and merits listing at grade II. The western bay appears to have been converted into an additional stable before the end of the 17th century and was lit by a secondary window of similar form tothat on the upper storey of the farmhouse. A further timber-framed stable with a chaff box and hay loft was added to the western gable in the 19th century. |
