NHER 19349 (Building record) - Old Farm, Norwich Road

Formerly Old Manor Farm.

Said locally to have been a manor house and moated, but these are unlikely.
Three blocks probably 16th century, about 1600 and 'later'.

2009. Building survey.
The house seems to contain three separate building phases; the west section of the house, the kitchen or backhouse, and finally the crosswing. Dendrochronological assessment gave beams in the kitchen a felling date of 1595 and the crosswing a date range of 1579-1615.
