Abstract: |
23 Trimley Road lies on the eastern side of the road between Kirton and Trimley, approximately 500 m south-west of the parish church. The site is shown as Malting Farm on the Ordnance Survey of 1902, and included a farmhouse and a group of agricultural buildings in addition to a large malthouse to the south. The malthouse and most of the farm buildings had been demolished prior to inspection, leaving only a brick stable and a timber-framed barn in addition to the unlisted early-19th century red-brick farmhouse. The stable is a good example of its type, which retains an original brick floor, manger, hay rack, tack room and boarded stalls. In its present form the structure dates from the 1860s or 1870s, but its walls incorporate parts of an early-19th century brick building of uncertain purpose shown on the tithe map of 1839. The tithe map also shows the malthouse, but not the barn. The latter is a four-bay structure of typical form but was extensively rebuilt in the late-20th century and has partly collapsed. The chief interest of the remaining buildings lies in the extent to which they illustrate the small scale and agricultural basis of many malting operations in Suffolk before the advent of industrialisation during the 20th century. A concrete WWII gun emplacement to the south of the barn did not form part of this recording brief. |
