Full Description
Aldridge's Farm, Laxfield. 19th century farmstead and 16th century listed farmhouse and barn. Dispersed cluster plan formed by working agricultural buildings. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. Significant loss (more than 50%)of the traditional farm buildings. Located within an isolated position. (S1-6).
The farm buildings are separated by the road and span two parishes.
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.
