Originally a row of three houses, now two. Numbers 55 and 57 High Street were built in the early 19th century, raised and altered in the mid 19th century and converted into two in the mid 20th century. Constructed in dark knapped flint with red brick dressings. The heightening is in gault brick, as are the later dressings. Listed, grade II, with details at: https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1376829 Ixworth is a village some 7 miles north east of Bury St Edmunds. Settled in Roman times and the site of a Roman fort. Later a civilian settlement was established and it became an important junction in the Roman road system of East Anglia. An Augustinian priory was founded in about 1170 and dissolved in 1537. Ixworth is the site of the earliest rural council housing built in England. Now most working residents commute to Bury St Edmunds.
