Full Description
Parkfield Farm, Laxfield. Completely demolished 19th century outfarm. Possibly part of Parkfield Farm to the west (LXD 099). Visible on the 1st ed Ordnance Survey maps but not on the 1840 tithe map. Present on the 6 inch to 1 mile 3rd edition Ordance Survey map so demolished sometime after 1947. Located within an isolated position (S1-6).
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.
