November 2010. Building Survey.
Historic Building Recording Survey of barns at Hall Farm. The two barns forming the northern part of the arm complex are visible on the 1839 tithe map (S4) with the western barn probably predating the one to the east. The extension to the western barn from the north-western corner is likely to have occurred between the date of the tithe map and the Ordnance Survey 1st edition map (S5). The detached barn to the north was probably constructed in the mid-19th century and has undergone extensive alterations.
See report (S6) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2011.507).
