Benfield Barn
Image: © Simon Carey Taken: 7 Jan 2010
A late 18th century flint barn that is the only survivor from Benfield Manor Farm which operated from here from the late 16th century to 1871 when the farmhouse was demolished and replaced by a row of agricultural labourer's cottages. They in turn have nearly gone, the lone chimney on the right along with the concealed foundations being the only thing left of them. The barn is currently the clubhouse for the Benfield Valley Golf Course.
