High Flyer Hall, New Barns, Little Barns Farm, Ely
History of High Flyer Hall
The hall was probably known originally as Little Barns Farm in the mid-18th century. The land around Highflyer Hall was leased to Richard Tattersall in 1783. The current house was built by Richard as his country home and Highflyer was put to stud here. When his famous race horse ‘Highflyer’ died in 1793 the horse was buried in front of the bay window of the house. The property is readily identifiable as a typical farmhouse of this date despite later additions.
