Ryes Hall (EHER 9309)

Possible 16th century farmhouse, which appears to be on the original site of Rye's Hall.

Monument description derived from merging EHER 9309 and 28534. Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import: Rye's Hall (NR). <1> This house was built early in the 19th century on a new site by a member of the Barnardiston family. The old Hall had stood in a deep bottom east of the ruined church in a position now occupied by a farm, and near the little Rye rivulet. <2> - <4> Mentioned in 1562 as 'Ryes', also in 1576. On Chapman and Andre map of 1777 as 'Rye Hall'. It was the home of 'John de Ry' (1269). <5> <6> Morant mentioned the manor house, saying it 'lyes in a bottom'. <7> March 1976. Field survey. The Ryes (name confirmed) at TL 86023854 is an imposing house built in 1802 with additions in 1810 according to the owner. Rye's Hall (now called Ryes Farm) stands at TL 8630 3846. It is possibly 16th century, though much modernised and not outstanding. No trace of another house is visible in the area and the present farmhouse would appear to be on the original site of the Hall. Published 1:2500 survey correct. <8> <9> See also: <10>
