Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of a range of outbuildings at Tansor Grange, Tansor, Northamptonshire (TL 07039 90273), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Aragon Homes Ltd in advance of the proposed conversion of the outbuildings to residential use. The outbuildings are mid 19th century in date, built as an enclosure farm to provide an income to the incumbent of St Mary's Church. The farm was originally known as Glebe Farm, before being re-name Rectory Farm and finally Tansor Grange in the late 1920s. The buildings indicate the farm was originally mixed with a threshing barn and later became a pastoral farm with room for a significant number of animals before eventually being abandoned and used for poultry rearing. The easternmost range is very interesting as it contains a stable and carriage shed, both rendered and painted indicating they housed riding horses and a carriage better than a common farm cart. Both suggest the farm was prosperous and of some status, possibly as a result of its association with the church. Further evidence of the status of the farm is the quality of the finish of some of the buildings including brick floors and chamfered and stopped beams. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the temporary site code 2014-TGWN until deposition with Northamptonshire County Council can be arranged. |
