Abstract:		 St Jacob's Hall lies in open countryside approximately 1.5 km south-east of Laxfield village. Until recently the property was known simply as Jacob's Farm. The former farmhouse is a grade II-listed timber-framed building which dates chiefly from the mid- and late-16th century. The large roadside barn flanking the yard in front of the house is a timber-framed and weatherboarded structure which also dates from the late-16th century. It contains six bays with part of a truncated seventh bay to the north, and originally possessed a stable and hay loft of two bays to the south. The loft was lit by three windows containing 'diamond' mullions, for which empty mortises survive in the roof-plates. The threshing barn is likely to have contained a total of five bays with a central entrance adjoining the road to the east. The building remains a good example of a typical East Anglian Tudor barn with an integral stable, and is accordingly of considerable historic interest, but has been extensively mutilated as part of a commercial conversion during the late-20th century when a new ceiling was inserted throughout the length of the barn and its external cladding renewed. The barn was depicted with a roadside porch on the Laxfield tithe map of 1840 when it was the only agricultural building on the farm, but numerous additional structures were added during a major redevelopment of the mid-19th century. These 19th century buildings have been much altered and are no longer of particular historic interest in themselves.
