Abstract: |
Building recording and a watching were undertaken on behalf of Benniman Ltd at Barnsley Hall Farm, Lickey End, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire (NGR SO 9680 7318; HER ref WSM 32863 and WSM 41760). The archaeological work at Barnsley Hall Farm was separated across a number of years with the building recording taking place in 2001 and the watching brief in 2009 and 2010. Barnsley Hall Farm dates back to the late 18th century when the house was constructed as a rural residence by a wealthy family. Farm buildings were first constructed in the early 19th century. This was a time of agricultural expansion due to an increased need for food as imports were blocked by the French in the Napoleonic Wars. Further farm development occurred in the mid 19th century with the construction of cow houses following a slump in grain prices. The selling of the farm to the County Council around 1900 saw it develop into a supply farm for the mental asylum that was constructed on some of the farm land in 1907. This link between the hospital and the farm continued throughout the 20th century. |
