Abstract: |
This document provides a summary introduction and a structured framework for understanding England’s
traditional farmsteads. The same headings are used for each of the FARMSTEAD AND LANDSCAPE STATEMENTS under development for England’s National Character Areas (NCAs), and for any area guidance that uses the FARMSTEADS ASSESSMENT FRAMEWORK. This has been developed as a land management and planning tool to help identify the character, significance and potential for change of farmsteads. All the statements have used a
consistent terminology for describing farmsteads and their building types, which will allow users to identify and apply standardised indexing to farmstead types and their functional parts. This new thesaurus will be of use to Historic Environment Records and it is hoped to anyone involved in the recording of farmsteads. This document provides a brief national overview of Historic England's research into the historic character, significance and issues for change of traditional farmsteads. It supports the National Farmsteads Assessment Framework and the Farmstead and Character Statements for each of England's National Character Areas, currently in development. |
