Farmstead record WTH 036 - Farmstead: Exhibition Farm

Planned 19th C farm including a timber-framed and weatherboarded barn with two threshing floors, two open cartsheds and a three bay covered yard (S1).

Exhibition Farm, Withersfield. 19th century farmstead and farmhouse with converted buildings. Regular courtyard covered yard plan formed by working agricultural buildings. The farmhouse is detached facing side on to the yard. Significant loss (over 50%) of the traditional farm buildings. Located within an isolated position.. The farm is not present on the 1840 tithe map (S2-7).

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.
