Abstract:		 DigVentures has been appointed by Stephen Wilcock (hereafter “the Client”) to prepare a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) for a building survey level 2/3 to be undertaken at Hedrick Rigg (hereafter “the site”) by Tuesday the 30th of November 2021. The site is located at Hedrick Rigg, Marwood, Barnard Castle, Co. Durham DL12 8SG at grid reference NZ 0532821725, situated in just off the B6279 via the entrance which leads to the existing farmhouse and the proposed conversions. Planning permission has been sought for the conversion of Farm Buildings to create three residential units (DM/21/01835/FPA). The site is a non-designated heritage asset which is not within any Conservation Area or the North Pennines AONB. The farm buildings at Hedrick Rigg represent traditional stone-built structures. The buildings are typical of the area, thick stone walls with dressed quoins, heads and cills, ventilation slits and kingpost trussed roofs. The walls are mainly constructed from rubble stone. Roofs vary between Teesdale slate, steel profiled sheet and fibre cement profiled sheet. The windows and doors are timber, albeit in poor condition. The retention of the stone-built buildings and the conversion to dwellings is seen as a positive way of maintaining their appearance and form. The overall condition of the buildings is currently dilapidated and, whilst the stables are still in use, the remaining buildings are used for storage except for the pole sheds which still shelter cattle. The general form of the buildings are typical of a courtyard farmyard development, although no definitive medieval phases have been identified. There are few internal features other than the roof trusses which are typical for this kind of vernacular building in the area. The trusses are in part already repaired and strengthened, and many of the roof coverings have been altered from the original over the years. The buildings are in a general state of disrepair as a result of being vacant and neglected for a long period of time. This report records external and internal conditions suitable for a Level 2 survey and does not highlight more significant remains. The buildings are a non-designated heritage asset and have no significance other than local interest. Based on the results of the Level 2 survey and the deteriorating condition of the building fabric and fixtures, restoration would seem to be inappropriate in this instance.
