Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology were commissioned by Bellway Wessex to carry out a programme of historic building recording on selected outbuildings at Rainsford Farm, Crookham Hill, Thatcham, West Berkshire in order to fulfil a planning condition. Rainsford Farm is located approximately 1.5km south-east of Thatcham village centre, and directly south of Thatcham railway station. The farm has existed since at least the 17th century, although its current structures all date from the 19th and 20th centuries. From 1937-8 until recently the farm has been owned by dairy farmers R. A. Grover and Sons. The now redundant farm is to undergo redevelopment with most of the existing farm buildings on the site to be demolished and replaced by 13 new houses and parking areas. As part of the scheme two outbuildings north-east of the farmhouse are to be demolished, although due to their age and historic interest they were selected for 'preservation by record'. Discussions with the Acting Archaeological Officer of West Berkshire Council indicated that an English Heritage Level 2-3 record of two remnant 19th century outbuildings was required to satisfy the condition. The two outbuildings targeted for survey appear for the first time in the 1841 Tithe map and stylistically appear to date from the early 19th century. Both buildings had developed their current plan form by 1880 and have been subject to further modification in the early-mid 20th century which included the rebuilding or rendering of the majority of walls at low level and the installation of concrete floors.
