Abstract: |
Following the submission of a planning application for the change of use of a former barn and demolition of associated modern farm buildings at Whittington Farm, Main Street, Whittington, Lancashire a condition was placed requiring an archaeological building recording. Greenlane Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the work, which was carried out in February 2019. Whittington Farm is probably at least 17th century in origin. The earliest element of the building comprised a small threshing barn added to the end of the existing cottage in the late 18th or early 19th century. The building represents a good example of the typical development of such sites in the wider region, with a general increase in the importance of dairy farming during the 19th century due to the demands of the Industrial Revolution. The building saw a remarkable number of alterations, which continued well into the 20th century and while it retains some original fabric the building itself has been substantially altered by later developments. |
