Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of Village Farm (outbuildings), Diseworth, Leicestershire (SK 45129 24498), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by FJ Dakin and Son Ltd in advance of the proposed conversion of the buildings to residential use. Village Farm is a good example of a Leicestershire farm which has survived in its village centre location well into the 20th century. The outbuildings subject to this historic building recording are a common cross section of the farm buildings of the period. The principal building is a timber framed threshing barn and later, animal rearing buildings, reflecting the growth in pastoral farming. There are elements of recorded buildings which are difficult to understand due to the complexity of structural features in small areas. There are limited features which hint at earlier buildings being partially retained within the standing buildings. The archaeological building recording survey provides a permanent visual (drawn and photographic) and descriptive record of the building in its current state. It covers two sites (A and B) within the village. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service, under the accession number X.A16.2015. |
