Farmstead record BOY 099 - Farmstead: Boyton Hall Farm

Boyton Hall Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and the Boyton Tithe map. The farmhouse is listed and dated to the 17th century. The farmstead is laid out in a regular H-plan with an additional T-plan range. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farm house sits alongside a private track in an isolated postion. The T-plan has been completely lost with a large modern working building in its place. The H-plan has been reduced to a T-plan and converted to residential use. This represents a significant loss (50%).

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.
