Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The surviving, though unoccupied, farmhouse at Crowhill Farm (formerly Moore's Farm), BoInhurst is a complex building exhibiting several phases of building operations, and with extensive documentation going back to 1537. The tenurial history is first set out, followed by a detailed description and analysis of the building its site, its planning, its structure, its decoration, and its dimensions. The building-phases are then distinguished and linked to particular periods or episodes in the tenurial history. The first house was a late medieval hall-house with services dt one end and a two-storey wing at the opposite end, all probably dating from the same time, c. 1500 or a little later. Subsequently, the hall was floored-over and a smoke-bay constructed, probably by Richard Moore, 1541-47. Later still a stone stack was inserted in the smoke-bay and a stack added to the wing, probably by Robert Moore, 1557-84. The present roof to the main range may date from c. 1600. A new west end was added, in place of the former services, in the mid-to-late nineteenth century, and there have been subsequent minor alterations. | ||
