Abstract: |
Gwills Farm in the parish of Gunwalloe is located a short distance to the south-west of Cury Churchtown, and was first recorded in 1327 and the farm is well documented through history. Planning permission for some of its redundant farm buildings to be converted to domestic use was contingent on archaeological recording in advance of the work taking place. An Historic Buildings Record survey of the farm buildings was undertaken by Historic Environment Projects Cornwall Council in August 2011 utilising archive photography and site notes. This revealed that no less than three of the farm buildings to be converted were originally houses or cottages containing substantial fireplaces, whilst date stones incorporated into some of the buildings provided evidence to suggest that at least parts of them dated to the early 17th, mid 18th and early 19th centuries; one small agricultural building which seems likely to have originally been thatched may also be of an early date. The evidence suggested several phases of reorganisation and adaptation of existing buildings throughout the centuries, much of this having been undertaken during a 125 period between 1747 and 1872 during which the Hendy family leased this farm. A further substantial reorganisation of the farm occurred immediately following the end of this lease period, with a newly laid-out north yard range being added to the farm in about 1873. |
