Abstract: |
A Level 1 Standing Building Survey was carried out on 14 December 2017; the weather was frosty and sunny. A full photographic survey was carried out on all areas apart from three first floor areas that are deemed unsafe by the current owner. Architects plans and elevations were checked and annotated with numbers used in this survey. The steadings may have originally been constructed in the late 18th century. By the mid 19th century (possibly during the building phase in 1823-4 when the castle was rebuilt for Peter Arkley) the steadings were redesigned. At this time the decorative S façade may have been added. The steading was built around a central courtyard with doocot at the centre. The doocot is a square building with access to the roosts on the S façade within the gable constricted from red sandstone. There is a large door in the ground floor N façade and an upper door allowing access to the interior for collection of eggs. The smaller rooms on the W and E of the doocot pre-date the First Edition OS map but may be later than the doocot building. There appears to be have been living accommodation built into the SE of the complex (Rooms 18-20) and the remainder of the building may have been for agricultural use. Two other cottages were built into the steading at a later date (Rooms 1-4 and 27-31) and windows and doors added to each room (Illus 26). The stables in the S wing are probably original but have had fittings added in the 20th century (Illus 27). The rooms on the first floor may have been groom's accommodation but there was no access to this section of the building. Concrete floors were added to the steading buildings (Rooms 12-16, 26, 32) and they have been in agricultural use until the recent period. |
