Abstract:		 As the result of an archaeological condition on planning consent for the development of Rectory Farm, Meesden, the Heritage Network was commissioned to create a record of the existing buildings and to undertake archaeological monitoring of the development groundworks. The documentary research for the project demonstrated that Rectory Farm was built between 1815 and 1840 on a previously unoccupied site. The farmhouse (Building 1) appears to have been built as a schoolhouse, incorporating a school room and accommodation for the school mistress, which functioned from the late 1830s until 1875. The building was cheaply constructed of poor quality softwood framing with weatherboard to the exterior, but with at least one reused oak tie beam. Three outbuildings, Buildings 2, 4 and 6, were also recorded, all dating to the original construction phase. A fourth outbuilding, Building 3, was modern, dating to the second half of the 20th century. No significant archaeological features were identified in the course of the groundworks.
