Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording for Great Lakes Farm Barns, Holsworthy Hamlets, Torridge, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to assess the fabric affected by the conversion and development of this complex and set the buildings in their historical and archaeological context. Great Lakes Farm (formerly known as North Simpson) appears to have been built between 1803 and 1843. The layout originally consisted of a C-shaped courtyard of farm buildings with the farmhouse to its open side. It is possible the farm was built to take advantage of the economic stimulus - real or imagined - provided by the Bude Canal, to which the farm is linked by road. The historic maps indicate that Barn 1 and Barn 2 were built after 1843 but before 1883. Barn 1 is likely to have been a fairly standard mixed-use structure with animal housing below and storage above; Barn 2 was a pigsty. Barn 1 was extensively altered in the later 20th century, and little more than a shell survives. Barn 2 has also been altered and repaired, but more original fabric survives. Both are now redundant, and are of strictly local importance. |
