Abstract: |
An archaeological assessment and building survey was required as a condition of planning permission for conversion to residential use of a barn at Manor House Farm, Knowls Lane, Oldham, OL4 5RU (NGR SD 95948 04061). J. M. Trippier Archaeological and Surveying Consultancy carried out the work on behalf of Mr Andrew Butterworth. Although parts of the building had been reduced a number of typical features remained visible intact which enabled it to be reconstituted in this record. The building was found to be a stone built mid-19th century combination barn of the type that were being set up by part-time farmers as agriculture gave way to industry both in terms of land-use and employment opportunities. It could be closely dated to between 1848 and 1861 and it was also possible to establish the likely builders. It therefore can be regarded as possessing some heritage significance amply justifying its 'preservation by record' as contained in this survey. It was situated within a fold of four listed dwelling houses dating from the 17th and 18th centuries and, although considerably later, the barn's stone built vernacular construction is in keeping with them and helps to demonstrate the changes in building styles |
