Abstract: |
The grade II-listed granary and cart lodge that forms the subject of this report lies in close proximity to three other listed buildings: the farmhouse to which the granary formerly belonged, an aisled barn and Dove Cottage. At the time of the tithe survey in 1839 these properties belonged to the Reverend John Wastell of Risby House and were held in conjunction with a substantial farm of 232 acres. The granary is shown as twice its present length on the enclosure map of 1802 and is likely to have been newly built at this time. Empty mortises in the western gable demonstrate that it was originally attached to a lower range that has since been demolished. The timber-framed building contains a grain floor on its upper storey, reached by an internal stair with an open-sided cart lodge and an enclosed shed on the ground floor. The cart lodge was initially open to the front and rear but was enclosed by a flint-rubble wall to the rear when a new cart-shed was added to the east. The roof-plates contain unusual splayed scarf joints that are normally found only in medieval structures. Although largely stripped of its original plaster, both inside and out, most of the frame is intact and the building is of historic interest as it illustrates the nature of local farmsteads during the agricultural revolution of the late-C18th and early-C19th. |
