Abstract: |
The results of a desk-based assessment and historic visual impact assessment (HVIA) carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. on land at Tregew Farm, Flushing, Mylor in Cornwall, as part of the pre-planning submission for a proposed barn conversion and small residential development. The proposed development would take place within the curtilage of the farmstead at Tregew hamlet. The manor was connected to Trefusis from an early date, and was held by the Trefusis family (later Barons Clinton) into the modern era. The Grade II Listed farmhouse is likely to be older than the late 18th century; the historic barns all appear to be 19th century or later in date, but they may incorporate earlier fabric. There is little firm evidence for the location of the manorial site, but Tregew Farm is probably the best candidate. Relatively little archaeological fieldwork has taken place in the immediate area, but the location of the site on a south-facing hillside, perched above the Penryn River and within Anciently Enclosed Land would indicate the archaeological potential of the area remains high. There are four Grade II Listed buildings on or adjacent to the site. With the exception of the farmhouse, the conversion of the historic farm buildings to residential use would have a very limited impact on the setting of the remaining three Grade II Listed buildings in the hamlet, and the removal of the modern farm buildings on the site is an aesthetic gain. In addition, and in terms of individual assets and meaningful views, those three buildings are partly or wholly insulated from the effects of the proposed development by the fall of the ground and local blocking from other structures and trees/hedges. |
