Abstract: |
Vale Farm lies in open countryside approximately 1.5 km south-east of All Saints church and 200 m north of the Shottisham parish boundary. At the time of the Sutton tithe survey in 1844 it was a substantial tenanted holding of 228 acres on the estate of Lord Rendlesham, although it remained in trust under the famously complicated 1797 will of his ancestor Peter Thelluson until 1859. Despite its size, the farm then contained just 40 acres of arable land and 30 acres of pasture, with the bulk of the holding consisting of rough 'sheepwalk' on Sutton Heath to the north-east. The tithe map shows the site approached only by a track from the east which divided the farmhouse to the south from a group of three farm buildings to the north. A similar arrangement was depicted on the William Haiward map of 1629, which identified the farm as 'Aldams' belonging to Robert Bournur. Haiward also shows an unusually long, narrow pond behind the house. The remains of this pond may survive in the woodland which now occupies the same position, and probably originated as a linear clay pit like a number of similar examples elsewhere in the parish as marked on 19th century Ordnance Surveys. |
