Abstract:		 A building survey in advance of redevelopment revealed that the disused farm buildings at Townfoot Farm have developed over a period of nearly two hundred years. The earliest building on the site was a threshing barn with byre and hayloft which appears to be shown on the Enclosure Map of 1805. Through the nineteenth century various additions have occurred to create a U-shaped arrangement. And by the 1980s various ancillary buildings had been constructed against the older structures. The buildings show that animals and cereals were an important part of the farm economy. The various byres show that cattle were being housed during the winter months, although it is not known for sure if dairy cows were kept. Building 4, with the threshing machine, shows that cereals were being grown. This was therefore a farmstead with a mixed economy. What the buildings do not show is if sheep formed part of that economy, as they were not housed. It is not known when the farm ceased to function. There is a farmer listed at the farm in 1954, and a map of 1957 date does not appear to show Building 5; consequently the farm must still have been in operation at this date. Mr Briggs has mentioned that it has certainly been many years since the farm buildings were used for their intended purpose.
