Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording was undertaken on behalf of Mr and Mrs Thatcher at Hillworth Farm, Longdon, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO 8360 3730, HER ref WSM 42434). The project produced a record of a listed timber-framed barn at Hillworth Farm. Documentary research produced further information relevant to the site and the ownership of the farm. The barn recorded was first constructed in the late 17th century and consisted of a four bay threshing barn. It was constructed on a sandstone plinth and was topped by a timber-frame superstructure. Dendrochronological sampling of the structure gave a confused story that was able to be unravelled to reveal that the building was constructed of completely re-used timber from a number of different sources and may have utilised timber from earlier structures on the site. Further development of the building included a mid-18th century extension to the north. This was constructed in a similar fashion with a full-height ground floor stone plinth, of lias, topped with a timber-framed superstructure. The early to mid 19th century saw a brick stable extension added to the south of the original threshing barn by an ancestor of the client. |
