Abstract: |
A historic buildings survey was conducted for Bryan Russell ahead of renovation and conversion of five structures to domestic use at Smallways Farm, Newmans End, Matching Tye, Essex. The farm buildings appear to have been constructed in one phase of construction during the mid 19th century and the present farm house appears to be of the same date. These buildings replaced earlier buildings shown on maps of 1609, 1777 and 1843. The layout of the farmyard and buildings is regular and enclosed, typical of a 19th-century date. All the buildings have walls or dwarf walls of 19th-century London Stock-type brick and the timber framed portions were lightweight and externally weather boarded, all typically 19th-century features in this context. The roof trusses were open, with raked struts and iron fittings and a shallow roof slope; again typically19th-century features. Building 1 (the barn) was irregular in shape and proportion, probably due to pre-existing masonry features and a change of plan during construction. It was constructed of a timber frame and was weather boarded above dwarf walls. It was probably used for threshing and storage. Building 2 (the stables) had space for two stalls and storage. It was constructed of brick with a shallow pitched roof with a central louvre. Building 3 (the cart shed) was open on one side; its masonry back wall was probably a relic of an earlier farm complex. Buildings 4 and 5 were small lean-to sheds, both probably later additions. There were no internal fixtures present to suggest the function of the various buildings, but the building forms on their own provided typical examples of their function. |
