Abstract: |
Church Farm adjoins open countryside immediately west of St Mary's church. Two earthworks to the east are believed to indicate the site of Brome Hall before it was rebuilt in circa 1560 by the Cornwallis family. The present farmhouse is not listed but its proportions suggest it may date from the 17th century. At the time of the tithe survey in 1839 the farm was a substantial tenanted holding of 281 acres on the estate of Sir Edward Kerrison of Oakley Park, Hoxne. The farm buildings include a well-preserved timber-framed barn of the mid-16th century which after the demolition of Brome Hall in circa 1960 may represent the sole survivor of the Cornwallis's original building programme. It retains a good clasped-purlin roof structure with wind-braces and arch-braced collars. The original building contained a three-bay threshing barn with an integral stable in a fourth bay but was extended in the 17th century to form a six-bay barn. The stable retains a blocked hay-loft window and the lintel of its original entrance. An 18th century timber-framed stable of four bays was shown as a detached building on the tithe map but is now linked to the barn by a 20th century brick dairy. This stable has lost its hay loft and internal fixtures and fittings and no longer merits listing. An extensive complex of new cattle yards and sheds was added to the north and east of the site in the mid-19th century but the majority of this has since been demolished. |
