Summary

A quite complex thatched brick farmhouse, the main part of which dates to the mid 16th century and incorporates re-used medieval stonework, indicating that an even earlier structure may have stood on the site. A one storey west extension with dormer windows was added in 1711, a small south extension being built at about the same time. The house was altered, partly rebuilt and remodelled in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries. It was in a ruinous condition by the late 20th century, but is thought to have been at least partially restored since.

It was originally intended that renovation work at Church Farm would be subject to archaeological monitoring and recording. A reduction in the extent of the work and restricted access to the site prevented much of this work from being carried out.
See report (S8) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S9).
