Abstract: |
Following a planning application for the development of a former barn at 143 Salthouse Road, Barrow in Furness, Cumbria, an archaeological building survey was requested, which was to comprise an English Heritage level 3-type recording. The hamlet of Salthouse was almost certainly established by the monks of Furness Abbey and is recorded from at least the 13th century. Its name suggests it was connected to the production of salt and it is known to have comprised four tenements, the arrangement of which is probably reflected in the organisation of the surviving buildings. The later history of the hamlet was recorded in some detail by WB Kendall, based on his own experiences and the personal recollections of other people dating to the 19th century, so there is therefore a remarkable amount of information available outlining the date at which alterations were made within the hamlet, farm buildings rebuilt and so forth. The barn was built in the early 19th century as a combination bank barn with a threshing floor on the upper level and cow houses on the lower floor. It was subsequently extended at the north end, between 1842 and 1847 by the addition of a horse engine, which would have powered a threshing machine within the main barn. Minor alterations were probably then carried out throughout the 20th century culminating in the conversion of the lower floor into a cattery in the 1960s or 1970s. |
