This feature is mentioned in the English Heritage Historic Area Assessment for Allhallows Parish. The report states: "A number of other outlying farms were scattered across the parish, including the surviving farm sites at Dagenham (sometimes spelt Dagnham)…The causeway across the Yantlet and movement in the channels across the mudflats may have been factors in the failure to exploit the deposits of brickearth and cement clay at Dagenham Farm and Binney Farm advertised during the 19th century…A number of historic farmhouses survive including handsome 18th century brick examples at Dagenham Farm. " A surviving Georgian farmhouse is mentioned as indicating 'a period of relative prosperity' and 'growing markets' for agricultural produce (3)
