Full Description
Secford Hall is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map. The hall is listed and dated to 1553. The farmstead is laid out in a U-plan with the hall detached and set apart from the working buildings. The farmstead is set alongside a public road. This hall and the working buildings have all been converted for use as a hotel and spa.
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.
