Abstract: |
Historic building recording at Pond Hall Farm, Hadleigh, was undertaken in June 2017 prior to the residential conversion of two agricultural buildings and the demolition of later buildings. The survey found the dramatic fire which destroyed the farmyard in 1934 did not totally eradicate all traces of earlier buildings. A substantial proportion of the fabric of both the main west-east barn and the former stable to its south-east are likely to be of 16th-century origin, albeit with considerable later alterations and additions. Before the fire, the main barn was a tall brick structure with a steep, thatched roof, two pairs of large brick archways and ventilation slits with arched interiors. Although the entire roof structure was lost and the gables subsequently rebuilt, it would seem that the majority of the barn's northern, eastern and western elevations comprise original brickwork, complete with intact (albeit blocked) ventilation slits. Fragments of original fabric also survive in the southern elevation, although most of this wall was rebuilt following the fire. It seems likely that the stable is slightly later than the main barn and began as a single-storey three-celled building with a hayloft. Later, this was raised to two storeys and extended in two directions. Despite these changes, a stretch of brick walling with an ornate brick buttress, which is partly incorporated into the northern elevation of the stable, is a remarkable survival. This wall is likely to be contemporary with the barn and is among the more notable features on the site. |
