Moulton Conservation Area Appraisal (May 2008) Forest Heath District Council 5

Within our cities, towns and villages are areas of special architectural and historic character, which are to be valued and protected as a central part of our cultural identity. They contribute in many ways to our understanding of the present and the past and add quality to our lives. They are also of immense importance to tourism. They are a precious and irreplaceable asset, which once lost are gone forever.

Caring for them is a dynamic process which involves managing change. This does not mean keeping everything from the past but it does mean making careful judgements about the value and significance of buildings and landscapes.

Critical to these decisions is an understanding and appreciation of an areas character, including its social and economic background and the way in which such factors have shaped its urban fabric. This should be the starting point for making decisions about both (fig 2) The Village pump & the Packhorse Bridge, Moulton Village icons its management and its future. of special architectural or historic October 1988; variations were made on Conservation areas were introduced interest, the character or appearance of 30th January 1991.

It includes the garden land of houses in those roads; St Peter’s Church and churchyard; The Priory, Moulton Hall and French Hall and their curtilages.

SPECIAL INTEREST OF THE CONSERVATION AREA

Location & Context

Moulton is a rural village in the west of Suffolk, 6 km east of Newmarket and 18 km west of Bury St Edmunds. Its northern and southern boundaries are coincidental with the county boundary with Cambridgeshire. The parish has an area of about 12.92 sq. km, which includes arable land, and the pasture and gallops of the stables and stud farms to the north and west of the village. Recent expansion of equine facilities in the parish brought new studs off the Cheveley Road and at Moulton © Crown Copyright. All rights reserved. Licence No. 100023282 20007 Paddocks.

Significant landmarks and panoramas. The village lies on level ground in the shallow valley of the river Kennett, in a gently undulating chalk landscape and between two hills, Primrose Hill to the east and Folly Hill & Thrift Covert to the west. The terrain obscures some of the 20th-century estate development, hidden by folds in the valley. The approach from the south in particular, (from Dalham and Cheveley) offers the delightful sight of St. Peter’s Church against an unspoilt, wooded hillside.

The best viewpoints are from the roads leading into the village due to their elevated position and from many of the footpaths: For example, FP7 above the church; FPs 1 and 11 along the ridge through Ashley Heath Stud and from Cheveley Road to Mill Road, Ashley; looking north from the open fields along (fig 4) The village lies in a shallow valley between , Primrose Hill, Thrift Covert and Folly Hill BR14 with a distant view towards the

edge of the village. White Hall or Moulton Hall was built against the west side of Dalham Road where Nos 4 & 10 are now. It burnt down during renovations in 1921. The present Moulton Manor was built within the same grounds. where there is a high earth mound which map evidence suggests was built after 1838.

The manor lands consisted of the manor domain and four great common fields which survived until they were enclosed in 1841 (See fig 6). Of these fields, ‘Chippenham Field’ was between Newmarket Road and the Icknield Way; ‘Market Field’ was west of the village between the Newmarket Road and Cheveley Road; ‘Lidgate Field’ was between Cheveley Road and Ashley Road and the ‘Bury Field’ was north- east of the village between Kentford Road and Gazeley Road. The grant of a charter for a market to John de Agneus of French Hall in 1297 is reflected in the © Suffolk Record Office naming of one of the open fields.

Bridge Street, Nos. 17 & 19 Brookside, Nos. 23-25 Brookside, the rear timber-framed wing of The Priory, and Lanwades House, Kennett Road. In the late 17th-century there were 41 householders in 22 dwellings, additional village houses being built in Bridge St., Chippenham Road and Church Road.

By the end of the 18th-century the population had risen to 249. Moulton Manor & French Hall Manor had been amalgamated by the Duke of Rutland who now owned 45 cottages in the French Hall Manor estate. Moulton Hall and its farm buildings and French Hall had been rebuilt and there was 1000 acres of arable land mainly lying in open fields, 1000 acres of heath land and small amounts of meadow, pasture and common.

The 19th-century again saw major changes in the parish with the enclosure of the common fields in 1841. The pattern of ownership after the enclosures, and the location of dwellings at that time are shown on the enclosure map of 1841 (see fig 6 ) and the tithe map of 1842 (see fig 7).

There was a growth of social conscience among the land owners and a growth of charitable activity by landowners in favour of the village population. In 1831 there was a day school and Sunday School, in 1833, two day schools and two Sunday Schools, and in 1840 a school was built on glebe land adjoining the Old Rectory. In 1849 a public elementary school was built and classrooms added in 1877 and 1897. The Rectory was rebuilt in 1846 and the church comprehensively restored with a new south porch in 1851. In 1828 a small independent chapel was built north of Packhorse Bridge followed by a Methodist Chapel. In 1896 a new Methodist Chapel was built and the old © Suffolk Record Office chapel converted into cottages. The Wesleyan chapel in Newmarket road was built in 1912.

There are a few traditional gabled dormers with plain tiled roofs. Traditional 17th & 18th century dormers have often been replaced by larger windows with eyebrow dormers.

Roof pitch is governed by the material used. The steepest pitches were used for thatch which forms a special and significant component of the village scene.

Pantiles were first imported in the 17th- century and came into use later than plain tiles. They require a roof with a less steep pitch.

Welsh slate is not an indigenous material though it became widely used after the arrival of the railways facilitated its transport. It is light in weight and requires less timber to support it and can be laid to a shallow pitch.
