Abstract: |
Lambessow is located immediately outside Truro approximately 0.5km to the east of the city (at NGR SW 84260 44920). Planning permission with conditions has been granted for the conversion of a barn at Lambessow to form a workshop, office and dwelling. One of the conditions required the completion of an historic building record of the building prior to the development. This study has shown that the barn comprises at least three major construction phases. Remains of the earliest (phase 1) building exist as exposed footings seen on the south-east elevation of the west range and the ground floor north-west wall of this range (in which there is a partially blocked wide door opening). The second phase comprised a smaller two-storey building located in the northern half of the west range and the northern end of the east range. At this date (phase 2) the building incorporated a small threshing barn on the first floor and probably a cow-house on the ground floor. In the 19th century (pre-1880- phase 3) both the east and the west ranges of the phase 2 building were extended as two-storey buildings and the existing building (phase 2) converted as part of the remodelling. During phase 3 a horse-engine house was added to the north-east. The extended east range functioned as a cow-house/milking parlour on the ground floor with a threshing barn (with horse powered threshing machine) and fodder preparation area on the first floor. The west range phase 2 building was converted as part of the phase 3 remodelling to accommodate a cow-house on the ground floor with threshing and storage area on the first floor. The southern extension of the west range comprised stables on the ground floor with a hay loft on the first floor. |
