Abstract: |
Building recording was undertaken on behalf of Mr T Wood at Birchley Farm, Bockleton, Worcestershire (NGR SO 5959 6468; HER ref WSM 46448). The buildings recorded consisted of a Zshaped range of structures built primarily in timber-frame on top of stone foundations. Documentary evidence suggests that occupation of the site dates back to the 13th century with Ysabella de Birchel. In the 15th century a cruck frame building was built either on or close to the site. The cruck blades from this building were then used in the construction of a large threshing barn in the mid to late 17th century. Soon after the construction of this building, a further L-shaped range of timber-framed buildings was constructed consisting of stables, granary, cider mill and cow house. In the 18th century a brick stable was built and then in the 19th century a shelter shed completed the Z-shaped range of structures. The development and function of the buildings changed with the improvements in agricultural techniques and equipment. |
