Full Description
Bright's farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and the Bramfield Tithe map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular U-plan with the farmhouse detached and set gable on to the yard. The farmhouse is listed and dated to the late 16th of early 17th century. The farmstead is located next to a private track in an isolated position. The farmstead has survived intact with large scale additional modern working buildings to the side.
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.
