Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording for the barn and linhays at Whelmstone Barton, Colebrooke, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to assess the fabric affected by the conversion, restoration and development of this part of the complex and set the buildings in their historical and archaeological context. Whelmstone Barton is an ancient freehold estate, in existence before 1249. The farm was sold out of the Fortescue estate in the 1950s to a local farming family, by the later 20th century the buildings had fallen into a state of serious disrepair. There are two separate Listing designations covering the courtyard, one for the long double barn and western Linhay another for the southern linhay and (already converted) cider house; identifying this as a site of architectural and historical importance. The age of the initial medieval construction and unusually early phase of 17th century expansion makes this group of barns rare and of more significant value in the district, being one of the oldest complexes in the wider area. It could be argued that the early date of the Barn roof and its exceptional survival as a largely complete structure should require more robust and specific protection than the grade II designation it currently holds. Conservation and conversion works are currently underway at the site in order to prevent further collapse, making the buildings more stable and restoring their former appearance as a group, although converting them to residential use.
