Abstract: |
Oxford Archaeology North, at the request of Raymond Parr (Architect), were commissioned to carry out a desk-based assessment and historic building survey to English Level 2 standard of Above Beck Barn, Wray (SD 6084 6709). The barn together with a shippon and small lean-to structure, is attached to the south end of Above Beck Farm House which is a grade II Listed Building and dates to the late seventeenth century; however, the barn does not form part of the listing. The barn is the subject of a planning application for conversion to domestic use and a requirement of the planning condition (Planning reference: 1/12/00733/CU and 1/12/00734/LB) is that a survey of the barn be undertaken in advance of any building works. A project brief for the building survey was prepared by D Moir, Planning Archaeologist, Lancashire County Council and OA North undertook a survey of the building in accordance with that specification, the fieldwork being carried out on 3rd January 2013. Above Beck Farm is situated on a natural spur between the valleys of Hunts Gill Beck, and the River Hindburn in an area of gentle sloping topography at an altitude of c 90m AOD. The farm is less than a kilometre to the south-east of Wray, a village highlighted as a Conservation Area of special architectural and historic interest (LCC 2010, 1-2). |
