Abstract: |
The grade-II-listed farmhouse dates from the 16th century, but of the farm buildings shown on the Hoxne tithe map of 1842 only the barn to the south-west of the site now survives. This barn is a late-16th century timber-framed structure in five bays which adjoins a large pond at the south. The framing of the side elevations remains largely intact, with internal wall braces and cranked arch-braces, but the gable studs and the roof were replaced in the 1800s. The barn contains a stone threshing floor and a granary storey has been inserted at its southern end. The tithe map shows a porch projecting from the original entrance to the east. This was removed as part of a mid-19th century refurbishment. This also included the insertion of the present western entrance. A small brick cart shed was built against the western wall and a pair of enclosed horse or cattle yards with an open-sided clay-lump shelter were added to the west. A timber-framed granary was erected to the north of the barn. In the final quarter of the 19th century a brick stable or neathouse was built to the south of the enclosed yard adjoining the barn, and the earlier shelter shed was extended. The yards were covered in the 20th century. The 16th century barn is a fine example, and probably worthy of listing. The timber-framed granary, brick stable and clay-lump shelter are typical of their respective periods and remain of some historic interest. |
