Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) was commissioned by Lydia Rowe of Trewin Design Architects Ltd. (The Agent) on behalf of Mr. and Mrs. Ridley (The Clients) to undertake building recording for the Barns at Anderton Farm, Pancrasweek, Cornwall in order to assess the fabric affected by the conversion, restoration and development of the buildings. The recording work highlighted the almost continuous change and development of the barn range since Anderton was first constructed in the medieval period. A few small sections of original walling may have survived and been incorporated into the extant barn structures, but the majority of the fabric relates to the barns construction in the 18th or 19th century. Historic fitments relating to the use of the barns have not survived, those existing are modern replacements. Some of the timbers of the roof structures of Barns 1 and 2 are reused (presumably from elsewhere within the site), but many have been replaced with phases of repair. There is potential for the survival of elements of previous structures under the concreted floor of Barn 2, which is raised. Groundworks in this area of the site may therefore reveal more information about the history of the barn range and the preceding domestic range. It is unlikely that works to the walls or roofs of the extant barns will expose any significant historic fabric or details. The removal of the modern barns will open up the courtyard and will improve the setting of the house by returning the layout to something akin to the historic arrangement of the buildings. The reversion of the function of the buildings from agricultural to domestic is also in keeping with the historic iteration of the buildings as recorded in the Spoure Book. |
