Abstract: |
Grange Farm lies in open countryside approximately 1.3 km east of Great Ashfield parish church and 300 m south of the hamlet of Daisy Green. The property has been known by its present name since the 19th century but it is uncertain whether it occupies the site of a true monastic grange. The present farmhouse is a grade II-listed timber-framed and rendered structure which appears to date only from the early-19th century despite its thatched roof. The tithe apportionment of 1846 records an owner-occupied medium-sized arable farm of 91.5 acres and the tithe map shows the farm buildings much as they remain today. The building adjoining the road to the west of the site is a substantial flint structure with red-brick dressings and distinctive semi-circular windows that was designed as a stable with a hay loft in circa 1840. Its layout was highly sophisticated for a farm of this scale and suggests its owner may have engaged in horse breeding. The hay loft was converted into a granary in the 1890s by replacing both its floor and roof, but the building's external appearance remains largely original. The adjacent five-bay threshing barn is a good timber-framed and weatherboarded structure of the early-17th century which has lost its roof but otherwise remains largely intact. Its weatherboarding is still partly decorated with red ochre in the fashion of the 18th and early-19th centuries. |
