Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken at Lumber Tree Farm, Welland by Mike Napthan Archaeology in response to the proposed demolition of the farmhouse range. The building is of brick construction with complex phasing. The original cottage layout is more 17th C than 18th C in character, but the present structure appears to be 18th Century.There are a small number of apparently re-used 17th Century doors , but little other evidence for an earlier building. The building was much expanded and altered during the mid 19th Century. The building is lacking in any particularly significant features, and its interest lies mainly in the complex sequence of alterations, which partially reflect an original poor build quality. It is likely that the holding originated as a cottage encroachment on the common wasteland, and development of the farm only occurred after the Welland Inclosure Award of circa1819 had legitimised the earlier informal holdings. Whilst well maintained in recent years the adhoc development of the cottage had rendered it unsuitable for updating to a modern home, and the building has lost much of its historic character so was not deemed worthy of preservation. It is therefore due to be replaced with a traditionally styled modern timber-framed farmhouse. |
