Full Description

Aspall House, Aspall. 19th century farmstead and farmhouse. Dispersed multi-yard plan formed by working agricultural buildings. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. The traditional farm buildings are extant. Located within a loose farmstead cluster. Good example of a planned model farm, the farm buildings on the tithe map appear to have been demolished by the 1880s (S1-6).

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.
