Farmstead record WCB 110 - Outfarm: White Barn

Cropmarks of two post medieval farms - Rose's Farm (TM 13420 63578) and Cowles Farm (TM 13670 63732) and adjacent White Barn (TM 12973 63775), and traces of the former field boundaries between lie within the boundaries of Mendlesham Airfield. The remains of these farms can be seen on aerial photographs taken in 2015 as part of the Historic England Reconnaissance Recording programme, and are present on the 1st edition OS map.(S1)

White Barn, Wetheringsett-cum-Brockford. 19th century outfarm. Regular courtyard U-shaped plan formed by working agricultural buildings. The location of the farmhouse is uncertain. The outfarm has been totally demolished. Located within an isolated position (S2-7).

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.
