Abstract:
University of Leicester Archaeological Services was commissioned by Jelson Ltd to undertake an historic building assessment of a number of agricultural buildings at Lower Grange Farm, Markfield, Leicestershire. Planning permission is being sought to re-develop the site for residential use, retaining some of the outbuildings and demolishing others. Although Lower Grange Farm has the appearance of a late 19th-century 'Model Farm', detailed examination of the site suggests there may be an earlier building included within the proposed development area. All of the buildings are of mixed construction using granite rubble and brick with a number of different roofing materials. A study of readily available documentary sources did not reveal any specific information about Lower Grange Farm. Early map sources do suggest there were some buildings within the proposed development area in the early 19th century. Also noted on the site were the remains of two Leicester trams, car 31 and car 27, originally brought to the farm for use as chicken coops. Apart from the preserved car No. 76 at Crich, these are the only other known survivals from the fleet which was withdrawn in 1949 when the system closed.
