Description
The horse engine house, located 70 meters north-west of Dagworth Hall, is a disused structure from the mid-19th century, built for Thomas Woodward, a tenant farmer. It is constructed of flint rubble and gault brick, although one face has been replaced with 20th-century brick. The building has a slated roof and an octagonal shape. The upper part of the walls features ventilation openings arranged in a chequer pattern. There are 20th-century boarded doors on the west side. On the east face, there is a blocked arch that once provided access to a now-vanished barn. The interior is empty. Horse engine houses are rare in East Anglia, and this is believed to be one of only two examples in Suffolk.
