Full Description
St John's Manor House, Battisford. 19th century farmstead and 16th century farmhouse. Regular courtyard U-shaped plan formed by working agricultural buildings. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. Only the farmhouse survives. Located within a hamlet (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.
During the 1980s the site underwent modernisation and the original barns were replaced with contemporary structure. the larger central barn shown in Fig.5 was removed in 1982 and the large grain store erected in 1986. Prior to this the majority of the barns pre-dated 1885 (S7).
