The site of the grade II listed Lawneys Farm is mentioned in Domesday Book and parts of the existing structure date back to the thirteenth century. The word Lawneys probably comes from Lone House. The house to this day stands alone in the landscape.
For decades the house has remained mothballed awaiting an appropriate restoration project suitable for a building with this history. The trust decided to take on this project some years ago and the resulting work has been the collaboration between Richard Johnson of RJ Restorations, Christine Leveson of West Suffolk Council and the trustees themselves.
The work is now complete and the trustees are proud to present the result for all to see.
