Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake historic building recording for the former smithy adjacent to the village hall in Filleigh, North Devon, Devon. This work was undertaken in order to determine the significance of the building prior to its restoration. The Smithy is a small early 19th century building built by the Castle Hill Estate which has been adapted to different uses in the 20th century, once its smithy function was no longer required by the estate. It is to be noted that it is referred to on historic maps as the 'smithy'; however, no evidence really remains for such a use and even smoke-blackening, which one might expect to see, is fairly limited. The building has been closed up and minimally used for storage for the last few decades, no longer providing an active contribution to the small community of Filleigh. Renovating and converting the Smithy to form a business office will ensure the survival of the structure, and as such is a positive change. |
