Abstract: |
In January 2005, North Pennines Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Mr W Reay to undertake a building survey of a bank barn and stable block at Westlands Farm, Crosby, Cumbria (NGR NY 0733 3843) The work was carried out on behalf of Mr W J Reay, prior to the conversion of the buildings to two dwellings (Planning application No. 2/04/1214). The farmhouse at Westlands Farm (Plate 2) is of Anglo-Baroque style and dates to the late 17th or early 18th century. This period of English architecture was concerned with symmetry and a sense of mass. The typical large house of this period was a double-pile, which were two storeys in height, two rooms deep and with a symmetrical front elevation . The farmhouse at Westlands has, above its front door facing the road, an inscription of '1715 IE', and another above an internal doorway (now internal due to the addition of an outshut to the rear of the house) bearing the inscription '1697'. Both of these date stones are consistent with the architectural style of the farmhouse. Westlands Farm ceased to function as a dairy farm in 2001. |
