Abstract:		 A desk top assessment was undertaken to determine the history and architectural significance of a range of brick buildings forming the eastern side of the foldyard at Wichenford Court Farm (NGR SO 7871 5990. A proposal is being drawn up for conversion of the listed granary, carthouse and stable block to residential use. The project comprised of documentary research, a study of cartographic sources and an assessment of the building on the basis of a photographic survey undertaken by the architects. The building stands within an important and well preserved multi period farmyard range that encloses a foldyard on three sides. Beyond the originally open side (now occupied by a later building) there stands an important Listed and timber-framed dovecote, now in the ownership of the National Trust. The actual construction date of the majority of the building is likely to have been around 1820-25, though there is cartographic evidence that may indicate that the granary was not completed until after 1839, there is however no clear break in construction. The building while significant for its substantial contribution to the setting of the surrounding Listed Buildings and its group value as a key part of the historic farmstead, moat and court complex is internally lacking in period fixtures and fittings, and shows evidence of substantial previous internal alterations. The building is presently largely redundant other than use for casual domestic storage, and is not readily adaptable to modern agricultural practices or machinery. The present proposals therefore offer an opportunity to remove unsightly modern accretions and to ensure long term survival of the building envelope.
