Farmstead record CRT 039 - Farmstead: Cratfield Hall

Cratfield Hall is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed OS map. The farmstead is laid out in a regular E-plan with U-plan and L-plan elements. The farmhouse was attached to the E-plan range, side on to the yard. The farmstead is set alongside a private track in an isolated position. There has been large scale additional infrastructure added to the site with a significant portion of the working buildings having been replaced.

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.
