Abstract: |
After consultation with Cumbria County Council South Lakeland District Council placed an archaeological condition on a planning application to demolish and re-build a fire damaged farmhouse at Low Flan Farm, Ulverston, Cumbria. The condition was to comprise an English Heritage level 2-type recording of the farmhouse prior to its demolition. Unfortunately the demolition took place before the archaeological recording could take place, but it was decided to still request as much of a record as was possible based on the available information. The earliest depiction of the farm at Low Flan is on the 1812 enclosure map, which also shows the rear wing of the house and the adjacent barn. A detailed interpretation of the building was very difficult, especially without the opportunity to examine the interior. It seems likely, however, that the farmhouse, with its rear wing, and attached threshing barn are contemporary. Their style suggests a later 18th or early 19th century date which suggests that they were built as a result of the Ulverston commons enclosure of 1799. However, both the documentary evidence and the presence of re-used material indicate that there were earlier buildings on or close to the same site, which had at least 16th century origins. |
