Services
Alpheton Hall Barns are set in approx.
25 acres of grassland and woodland with ancient mediaeval spring fed fishponds in a fold of the Suffolk countryside.
The Barns are surrounded by a further 1500 or so acres of organic farmland, often having sheep grazing nearby.
Alpheton was founded, it is believed, by Aefflead, whose husband Byrthnoth, Earl of Essex, was killed at the battle of Maldon, on the Blackwater River in Essex, in AD 991.
Aefflead was the sister-in-law of the Saxon king Edmund the Elder, and following the battle and the death of her husband, she moved north from Maldon and settled in what was originally called Aefflead's Tun (estate) and probably lived in Alpheton Hall.
