Farmstead record BRG 051 - Farmstead: Manor Farm

Manor Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular full plan with additional detached elements. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead sits alongside a private track in an isolated location. There has been a significant loss of working buildings with the remaining converted for commercial use. (S1-4)

13th C timber-framed and brick aisled barn with a thatched roof, originally part of the St Edmund's Abbey estate. The barn was remodelled during the 16th C and the aisles were replaced, at which time a queenpost roof was added. The barn currently has 5 bays, although there were once more at the western end (S5 and S6).

Recorded as part of the Farmsteads in the Suffolk Countryside Project. This is a purely desk-based study and no site visits were undertaken. These records are not intended to be a definitive assessment of these buildings. Dating reflects their presence at a point in time on historic maps and there is potential for earlier origins to buildings and farmsteads. This project highlights a potential need for a more in depth field study of farmstead to gather more specific age data.
