Farmstead record CLO 066 - Farmstead: Shop Farm (Clopton Farm)

Clopton Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1St Ed OS map. The farmstead is laid out in a parralel plan with additional detached elements. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in an isolated position. There has been a significant loss (50%) of working buildings with large modern sheds 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.
