Abstract: |
A Level 2 Survey was carried out by Trigpoint Conservation and Planning on behalf of the Joseph Whattoff Will Trust in February 2008 in advance of works to refurbish and convert a group of farm buildings at Kilthorpe Grange. The site lies within the broad valley of the River Welland and the farm buildings stand to the south-east of the principal farmhouse (a Grade II listed building). The buildings, which comprise of a cottage, a barn and stables set around three sides of a former rectangular farm-yard, are mainly constructed of irregular coursed limestone, with larger stone dressings, and Collyweston slates. The survey revealed that the farm buildings had been developed sequentially over a period of time, the earliest building, a large threshing barn, was likely to date from the late seventeenth century while the remaining farm buildings were added in stages throughout the nineteenth century, although a substantial part of the historic farmyard was removed in the late twentieth century. Of particular interest were two stones inscribed with the initials ''R'' and ''H'' lodged within the rear wall of the stable block and a silhouette of a female head carved in plaster, dated July 1879, located in an upper room within the barn. The archive has been deposited with the Rutland County Museum (OAKRM 2008.41). |
