Abstract: |
The land occupied by Wiggonby House Farm is likely to have been used since at least the medieval period, indicated by fieldname evidence on the 1843 tithe map. The archaeological building survey has encountered evidence for a possible 17th century byre surviving within the fabric and the stalls retained within Building F. Elements of a further phase of development at the farm, occurring before 1843, and represented in the elevations of Buildings A, E and perhaps the lower section of the southern extent of Building F, have also been revealed. A key phase of development at Wiggonby House Farm occurred in 1846, and included the erection of the present farmhouse, archway and Building C. Building B, comprising much of the eastern range of Wiggonby House Farm, was also constructed during this phase, providing a large barn with cart sheds and storage areas, the southern part of which was later converted to animal stalls. Building B retains elements of architectural interest including areas of flagged floor and a staircase. The present cobbling across the extent of the farmyard, may also originate in this 1846 phase of redevelopment. Two additional buildings, Buildings D and G, are largely of 20th century origin and retain little of architectural or historic merit. The west elevation of Building E is of some interest, and it, along with Building A, a late 19th century byre, will also be demolished. |
