Abstract: |
Archaeological building recording of hop kilns was carried out at Manor Farm, Powick, Worcestershire (NGR SO 8332 5146, SMR ref WSM 39862). The survey was required in order to record the building prior to it being converted. The hop kilns recorded at Manor Farm incorporated a wall that dated to the 17th century and was probably erected as part of a structure associated with the 17th century farmhouse still in existence adjacent to the building. The hop kilns themselves were constructed in the late 18th century and consist of two brick-built kilns and an attached storage and processing area. Later additions in the 19th century consisted of extensions to the storage area and at the beginning of the 20th century a new, larger, brick-built kiln was constructed. The later 20th century saw the construction of three more kilns, made of breeze block. The development of the building reflected the development of hop farming in the county of Worcestershire. |
