Summary
This is the site of a post medieval great house. 19th century drawings suggest that the exterior of the hall was 16th century and that there was at least one elaborate fireplace inside. The hall was probably demolished during the 19th century. 19th or early 20th century farm buildings, including a barn, cattle shelters, stables and a cart lodge, survive alongside a modern farmhouse.

Full description

E. Rose (NAU), 15 April 1986.
February 1986. UEA farm survey.
(S4) states that present farm dates from before 1928, the only building of much greater age being the red brick barn.
The farmhouse has been rebuilt twice since the demolition of the old hall, which is said to have stood slightly further west. One piece of carved stone is said to remain set in a wall from the original hall.
