Farmstead record BRK 175 - Farmstead: Rectory Farm

Rectory Farm, Barking. 19th century farmstead and farmhouse with converted buildings. Dispersed multi-yard plan formed by working agricultural buildings. The farmhouse is set away from the yard. Partial loss (less than 50%) of the traditional farm buildings. Located within an hamlet (S1-5).

BRK 123 is the original farmhouse but was a school during the 19th century.

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.
