Full Description
Wishingwell Farm is a historic farmstead located to the southeast of the settlement of Marks Tey and to the north of the settlement of Easthorpe. It was first shown on the 1874-1887 Epoch 1 map to be a small detached site made up of four buildings. However, only one building has survived, which is the farmhouse. The orignal outbuildings were demolished between 1923 and 1955. There are no listed buildings on the site, most likely due to the high modernisation to the farmhouse, including a two storey side extension and conservatory around 2002. To the north of the farmhouse, where the original outbuildings were situated, there are two barns/storage buildings. There was a farm pond shown on the original map, but this was removed between 2002 and 2006. The name on the Epoch 1 map was Damyon's Farm, however this was changed some time after 1993. It is unknown why this was done. <1>
