Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. undertook a desktop assessment and historic building recording at Batson Hall Cottage Cider Barn, Shadycombe Lane, Salcombe, Devon, in advance of the conversion of the structure into an office/studio/boat store. The barn forms part of the curtilage of Batson Hall, a Domesday Manor, owned in the 19th century by the Pollexfen-Bastard family of Kitley, Yealmpton. The cider barn is in a ruinous condition, having lost its roof and almost all internal wooden fixtures except the cider press. The recording work determined that the structure was probably built before the 19th century as an open-fronted linhay, but was subsequently modified during the second half of the 19th century when a cast-iron horse engine and cider press were installed. This phase of use was probably initiated by the tenant James Lakeman, who is listed in a trade directory of 1870 as a 'farmer and cider dealer'. The cider barn was already ruinous by 1974 (DoE listing). |
