Abstract: |
TR Projects were asked by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services to undertake an Historic Building Record of an outbuilding at Church Farm, Ortn-on-the-Hill. The single, corrugated iron, roofed bay of brick building was all that remained of what had been a larger, brick outbuilding of at least four bays. The brickwork of the present building contained two distinct phases and it appeared that an earlier brick building had been pulled down and the lower courses of its walls used as a base from which to raise the brick walls of the present building. The rear, north-east, brick wall of the outbuilding is set on top of a stone base that may represent part of an even earlier building however there is insufficient evidence to enable this to be confirmed. The bricks used in both stages of building bore substantial evidence of being 'seconds,' the lower courses being an early local brick and the later series of being 'Haunchwood' bricks. |
