Monument record TR 04 SW 85 - Post-medieval farm and ridge and furrow, Sevington

Summary

Waterbrook Farm is first recorded in 1659, and in 1706 barns, stables, outhouses, orchards, gardens, a yard and backsides are mentioned. The presence of two ponds and managed watercourses on the 1838 tithe map suggest a mill but none is known of; fish ponds and traps are an alternative use. Other buildings in the vicinity consist of lodges and sheep-folds or dips. Waterbrook Farm remains a working farm today although it is uncertain whether any of the original buildings remain intact. Traces of possible ridge and furrow field systems have been recorded to the west of Waterbrook at TR 0294 4002.
