Farmstead record BUT 108 - Farmstead: Butley Abbey Farm

Butley Abbey Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map and the Butley Tithe map. The farmstead is laid out in a full regular courtyard, an extended regular E-plan courtuard with two additional large linear ranges. The farmhouse is detached and set away from the yard. The farmstead is set alongside a public road in an isolated location. The farmstead has suffered partial loss of working buildings with large modern working buildings on site.

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.
