Abstract: |
Beech Farm lies on the northern edge of Bardwell Green, approximately 500 metres north-east of the parish church. The tithe map of 1839 shows the present house, which dates from the 17th century, and a single outbuilding on the site of the small complex of farm buildings which forms the subject of this report. Less than four acres of land belonged to the property at that time, of which most formed a large orchard, and it was said to contain only a house, offices and yard. The existing farm buildings include a narrow shed and a small two-bay barn of the mid-19th century, the former possibly representing the outbuilding shown in 1839. The shed was heavily altered in the 20th century when a milking parlour was inserted at its southern end and the rest was enlarged to form a stable. A small cattle yard with the remains of a 20th century shelter lies to the north. The barn is largely intact and is of some historic interest as it retains substantial areas of original wattle-and-daub and evidence of an unusual layout with only a single external entrance. |
