Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken at Huddington Hill Farm, Huddington in April-May 2011 by Mike Napthan Archaeology in response to a proposed conversion of the farm buildings. The farmstead site is presently centred on a probably early 17th Century and later brick and timber framed farmhouse with later alterations. There is cartographic evidence for the farmstead which is the subject of this study being mostly present in 1790, but the western range was not completed in its present form until the mid-late 19th Century. There appears to have been a major re-ordering and rationalization of dispersed farm buildings over several phases in the 18th C. The near total loss of the northern range of buildings prior to recording was regrettable. Sufficient of the fabric of the timber framed barn however survived at the time of survey to indicate that the 17th C date attributed to it in the Listed building description is most likely inaccurate. The poor quality of the framing, use of elm and iron spikes with small diameter pegs places the construction almost certainly in the 18th C. Interesting features that remained included a partial set of red chalk or raddle carpenter's marks in the cart-house/granary building of early-mid 19th C date. The most interesting timberwork consisted of three re-used cambered tie beams that appear to derive from a high status house or hall of the 15th or 16th Century. |
