Abstract:		 The farmhouse at Thompson Fold is Grade II Listed and the farm buildings are listed on the Cumbria Historic Environment Record as being of 18th century origin. The earliest recorded reference to the site dates from 1690, at which time it was known as ''Thompson''s Houses''. Maps of the site, the earliest of which only dates to the mid-19th century, show that the majority of the buildings had been constructed by the 1840s. The building recording revealed seven phases of development and alteration within the range of buildings. The earliest part of the standing buildings is dated 1701, and was evidently constructed as a threshing barn in that year. This was soon extended to the north with the addition of a double shippon, and a further shippon was added to the north shortly after. An additional threshing barn was added after this, which is dated 1835, and smaller outshuts were subsequently added to the north and south-west. At a later date, probably in the early 20th century, a granary was added to the first floor at the south end, accessed by a flight of steps. The buildings form an interesting group of interlinked structures, not least because of the relative abundance of datestones, but also the various types of truss, which are particular to different phases. It is an extremely good typological example of the gradual development of an agricultural building through various periods of use and the change in the relative importance of arable and dairy farming.
