Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording for the barn adjacent to Colehayes Cottage, Otterton, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to assess the fabric affected by the proposed partial demolition of this barn and the buildings historical and archaeological context and value. The barn at Coleshayes was once one of a courtyard of outbuildings that served the Vicarage and Glebe lands in which it stands. The Listing records the main house as being constructed in the 1840s, although the outbuildings clearly predate this, and it was observed during the assessment of the barn that the vicarage itself displays signs of an earlier (pre-1840) structure contained with later and substantial changes. The position of the barn suggests its former use as a stable, and although there are no fittings remaining from the earliest phase of the building, fittings from later phases confirm this use and indicate it may have been improved and used as a coach house as the vicarage was elevated in status. The story of the barn is very evident in its fabric, with remains of the late medieval crucks and cob walls, later brick walls and partitions, the 20th century roof with WWII camouflage decoration and the smoke-blackening of the 1920s/30s fire. |
