Full Description

Farmhouse was also used as inn up until 1962.
Barn dates from between 1817 and 1847 and is Flemish bond brick with king post roof.
Third building is smithy built pre 1817 which was responsible for all horses on Evans-Lombe estates in this area until 1950. It has a roof of six king posts with struts, pegged, an early date for such a style; it appears to be the model on which all Evans-Lombe estate roofs of prefabricated type were afterwards based.
Information from University of East Anglia farm survey (S1) in file.
E. Rose (NLA), 10 September 1993.
