Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. was commissioned to undertake a programme of historic building recording in advance of conversion works for a former stable building to a residential dwelling at Hareston Farm, Yealmpton, South Hams, Devon. Hareston Farm has undergone a number of significant changes during its history, but a settlement of this name dates back at least as far as the Domesday survey. In the past 200 years historic mapping shows that the settlement has been dramatically remodelled twice, before the conversion of all of its buildings, excluding Hareston Stables, to residential accommodation in the last five years. Historical documents trace the history of the landholding from its ownership by the Winter-Wood and Pollexfen-Bastard families at the end of the eighteenth centuries to its amalgamation to one farmstead, passing through a number of occupants and seemingly experiencing a decline in status before its purchase by the Plymouth Cooperative Society at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Stables building, is a good quality, if small, range, exhibiting care and consideration in both the form and appearance of its stonework and in its build quality, with segmental stone lintels and quoins to openings. It survives well, although now displaying an interior which was updated significantly in the 1900s, when the rest of the farm was overhauled. Sitting at a marked oblique alignment to the rest of the rebuilt farm complex, the stables building displays a localised vernacular no longer found in the Edwardian barns and as such is a valuable representative for the narrative of this farmstead. |
