Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken at Plowstall Farmhouse, Bayton, Worcestershire (NGR SO 6952 7328). It was undertaken on behalf of Bransley Construction Ltd, who proposed to restore the building and divide it into two houses. The recording of the farmhouse at Plowstall Farm completed the recording of the historic buildings of this farmstead and added to the knowledge already acquired by the recording of the barns at an earlier date. Plowstall Farmhouse is a listed timber-framed structure that had been dated to the 17th century date. Dendrochronological dating however pushed this date back into the 16th century, specifically the 1570s. This house consisted of a hall with cross-wing and a serving range at the opposite end of the hall. The building was developed in the 17th century by the flooring of the hall and insertion of a brick chimney. The 17th century fireplace bressumer had a large number of evil-averting marks incised into its face. An 18th century kitchen was added to the serving and this was followed by the conversion of the serving area into a dairy in the 19th century. At the same time, rebuilding of the ground floor in brick was carried out due to subsidence caused by coal mining. |
