House. Formerly a mid-C15 service building remodelled as a house in c.1600; later C17 extension to west; c.1970 jettied cross-wing. Two storeys. The building is of timber-framed construction, rendered, with a plain tile roof, hipped at the east end and two lateral brick stacks. The plan essentially comprises a long east-west range divided by an entrance passage, with two rooms to the east, one to either side of the chimney stack. To the west of the cross-passage are two further rooms, a second stack, and west again, a c.1970s jettied cross-wing. There are further projections to the rear.
The main façade is the result of C20 restoration. The central door and all of the casement windows are C20 insertions. The jettied cross wing to the west was added in c.1970. Windows to the rear are also C20, including the long windows in the rear wall of the staircase tower (now the dining hall). The... Read more
History of The Deans
I think my father's birth family the Harts may have lived in this house. Does anybody know any history of the occupants of the house?
Fishing as A Boy
I started working at Brundon Farm when I was ten years old. Mr Norman was very kind to me and I helped out on the the farm for the next five years. I had a great time when I was a kid fishing at Brundon Mill mainly for pike. There were concrete tank traps that were left over from the Second World War which were pushed into the river by the bridge. People's spinners and plugs always caught on the iron bars of the tank traps, so in the summer I used to walk out and get them. There is also a ford there.
Memories of Three Happy Years
I, Bill Rodgers was in the United States Air Force stationed at RAF Wethersfield. My wife Phyllis, son Michael and I lived on the Heath Estates, Great Waldingfield from 1962 to 1965. Michael, age 5 attended the Folly Road Primary School in Great Waldingfield. Our daughter Michelle was born in the Sudbury hospital in 1964. We had a wonderful time in Great Waldingfield, with wonderful neighbors. We visit England at least once a year. My wife is from Leicester, England whom I married in 1959.
Two years ago we attended our friend's (old neighgbor) 50th wedding anniversary in Red Lodge, England. We frequently visit with our friends durning our trips to England. We still have other friends in Great Waldingfield with whom we stay in touch with.
