Abstract: |
A series of historic building surveys were carried out on nine farm buildings at Hazelden, Cranbrook, Kent. The work shows that several phases of activity are represented at the site, ther remains of which includ a barn of c. 1600. By the 17th century the present farmhouse had been added to the property, perhaps re-working material from an earlier house on the site. A third building of unknown function was also constructed in the 17th century. The late 18th and early 19th centuries are represented by a programme of work that included substantial development of the farm. The house was extended, oast facitlite sinserted into the barn, and the building of unknown function. The increasing move towards a focus upon hop growing was further evidenced by additional kilns and at a later date, a series of purpose built hop-pickers huts all constructed in the later 19th and early 20th centuries. New buildings added to the site also represented a series of shelter sheds and animal housing, supplementing in the first instance, and perhaps later replacing the hop economy with stock rearing. The late 20th century saw a further decline in the agricultural use of the buildings some of which were then used for storage or garage facilities. A Watching Brief carried out within the footprint of the barn during ground reduction revealed three features of 19th-century or later origin. |
