Abstract: |
Planning consent has been granted to redevelop and convert a small group of disused farm buildings at Middle Penpethy, Tintagel to residential use. These proposals prompted an historic building record to be carried out in advance of the works. The range of buildings comprises a two-storey barn with a shippon beneath (Building 1), an adjoining single-storey animal shelter (Building 2), plus another single-storey structure (Building 3) that was added to the range later on. Map evidence reveals that Buildings 1 and 2 were in existence when the Tithe map was surveyed in the earlier 19th century. Building 3 had been constructed by c1907. All the buildings are of constructed of finely jointed slate masonry, typical of the vernacular building style of the area around Tintagel. Their roofs, (now unfortunately mostly lost), were covered with the large rag slates that were obtained locally. Middle Penpethy lies on farmland inland and upslope from the former Prince of Wales slate quarry. It is also only a few miles northeast of the famous large slate quarry at Delabole. |
