Full Description

Godman's Farm is a historic farmstead located inside the settlement of Marks Tey. It was first shown on the 1897-1904 Epoch 2 map to be a large interlinked site, forming one defined courtyard from seven buildings. However, only the Grade II listed C17 Godmans Farmhouse (LB Number: 1224527) remains standing, after the other buildings were demolished between 1958 and 1973. Their footprint has since been overlaid by the expansion of Mark Tey. There have been some modern extensions and alterations to the farmhouse, including new windows around 1987 and a conservatory, approved in 2014. The map shows two historic landscape features on the site, a farm pond to the west and a small woodland to the east. These have both been destroyed by development. <1>
