Abstract: |
A level 1 standing building survey was carried out on 12 April 2017. The weather was showery and windy. The roofs and wooden floors of the buildings are collapsing and there was virtually no access to the interiors and none to the first floor. There is machinery over much of the courtyard allowing limited access to the building walls. There is a crop in the field to the E allowing limited access to the E side of the buildings. All exterior aspects were photographed and interiors through doors and windows. Architect's plans and elevations were checked and annotated with numbers used in this survey. Room 4 on the SE corner of the complex had been a mill and a millwheel can be seen attached to the E wall on the First Edition OS map. In Phase 1 the complex was C-shaped with the access from the south opposite the mill pond and the farmhouse but by the Second Edition map the W and S wings had been rebuilt and the access changed to the west wing. Room 3 was a cart shed with three large cart doors accessed from the central courtyard and Room 6 a bothy with access into the inner courtyard. A later door was added in the W wall to allow access to the exterior. Large doors in the N and E facades were also reduced in size to create windows more suitable for general agricultural use and the door in the S façade was reduced in size to create a smaller door. |
