Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was instructed to undertake a desk-based assessment and historic building record of the traditional farm buildings at Deweymeads, St. Neot, Liskeard, Cornwall. The farm appears to have been a 19th century farm, inserted into a large downland meadow enclosure belonging to the Agar-Robartes of Lanhydrock, which is present from at least the 17th century. The farmhouse (which is not included within this study) and field boundaries are probably the only elements of the mid-19th century farm layout which survive. In the late 19th century, a reasonable investment was made to provide a more comprehensive range of farm buildings, set around a yard to the east of the house. Further buildings were added to the complex in the 20th century, but the whole farmyard appears to start falling out of use from the 1970s onwards. Little of architectural merit survives, but the group holds some vernacular architectural value, as good surviving examples of the local style, using local materials. The buildings have also received little in the way of later 20th century interference, meaning their historic form survives. The partly ruinous state of the buildings leaves very little additional detail which may reveal their specific functions within the farmyard and no particularly significant or valuable architectural details survive. |
