Abstract:		 South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to produce a statement of significance for a series of redundant farm buildings at Empacombe Home Farm, Mount Edgcumbe, Maker, Cornwall. This work included a desk-based assessment and historic building appraisal, and was undertaken in order to determine the significance of the farm buildings prior to a planning submission. The main range at Empacombe Home Farm was built in the last quarter of the 18th century; the U-shaped range faced onto a yard that overlooked the new kitchen garden within the shallow valley that drops down to the sea at Empacombe Harbour. The apparent symmetry of the arrangement misrepresents what is in fact the end product of a process of evolution. B5 is disproportionately-strong for a simple farm building, and may reflect the influence of Thomas Parlby, an engineering contractor who undertook a series of contracts for the Navy at Plymouth and elsewhere. The rest of the farm buildings are more typically agricultural in character, but mimic the design aesthetic of B5. All the buildings incorporate elements from earlier structures, reflecting both a pragmatic approach to construction (e.g. reusing roof trusses) and a desire to adore for public display (e.g. inset carved granite stonework). Changes in c.1800 saw the construction of B3, and the introduction of a domestic structure would imply changes to how the farm was managed. If B3 did indeed replace a granary, then its loss prompted a series of changes to the farm buildings: B5 was converted into a threshing barn, B1.1 and B4 were raised to replace lost fodder storage, and the first-floor in B1.3 was converted for grain storage and processing. Later in the 19th century a second range of buildings were built to the east, including a fairly elaborate carriage house. Changes in the 20th century were more workaday, with the ground floor in B1.3 converted to a milking parlour with dairy (B1.4) constructed to the north.
