Abstract: |
In January 2007, Birmingham Archaeology carried out a programme of historic building recording and analysis at The Mordaunts, Lower Crowle Road, Crowle, Worcestershire. The work was carried out as part of a proposal to convert the currently unused farm buildings to residential accommodation. The group of buildings, which include a Grade II listed barn (Worcestershire HER ref. no. WSM34970) were found to date from the seventeenth century onwards, with the large barn possibly incorporating part of an earlier timber-framed aisled barn. The site also included a late seventeenth- or early eighteenth-century upper cruck building, which are comparatively rare in an agricultural context in Worcestershire. Significantly all timber-framed buildings encountered on site were constructed from elm. It is proposed, given the possible presence of an aisled barn, that below ground archaeological investigation take place prior to any ground works, in an attempt to locate the footings of the sill-beams or outer walls of the aisles of the building |
