Abstract: |
White Wheat Farm lies on the northern side of Upper Street, Baylham, approximately 0.5km north-east of St Peter's Church. It consists of a 15th- or early-16th century grade II listed farmhouse and a complex of 20th-century agricultural buildings attached to an early-19th century timber framed barn. Both the farmhouse and barn are of relatively modest proportions and reflect the small scale of the historic holding, which formed a tenanted farm of just 21 acres in 1840. The barn extends to 10.5m in length by 5m in width, and contains three bays with a central entrance in its eastern elevation and a small original porch facing the farmhouse to the west. The present entrance is an alteration of the late-19th or early 20th-century, and the roof structure is a replacement of the same period, but the wall framing is largely intact. The 20th century buildings flanking the yard to the east of the barn form a series of cattle enclosures and loose boxes which until recently held a herd of Murray Grey cattle, and a late 19th-century cart lodge lies to the south of the site. The small porch is an unusual feature, but the barn is too late in date and too heavily altered to merit listing. At the time of inspection it contained a rare 19th-century feed mill with painted wooden side bearing the name N. Warren, Agent, Elmswell. Nathan Warren is listed as a wheelwright and blacksmith in the 1881 census. |
