Abstract:		 The building recording was undertaken to Level 3 for the Listed buildings and Level 2 for the others, as defined in Understanding Historic Buildings; A guide to good recording practice (English Heritage 2006). The photographic record included general views of the buildings, shots of their external appearance and the overall appearance of principal rooms and circulation areas. In July 2013 Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned by Amita Business Ltd to carry out a programme of Historic Building Analysis at the former Ashtonfields Community Centre, Ashton Keynes, Wiltshire, to inform a planning application. The site is proposed for residential development. The site is centred on a group of Listed, 18th-century farm buildings. These are rubble-stone buildings set around a rectangular farmyard and were first mapped in 1797. The farmhouse is on the south (LB1, The Old Farmhouse), the barn and ancillary building on the east (LB4, Barn and Cottage), stables and cart/machinery sheds on the west (LB 2 Cartshed and Stables) and a probable cowhouse on the north (LB3 The Northern Range). The buildings appear to have originated in the same period and the barn had a date stone of 1779. Map evidence shows that the farm had been much extended by 1875. The rear range of the farmhouse, pace the listing, is Victorian and was presumably added in this expansion period. In 1936-41 the site was briefly taken over by the Bruderhof community from Germany. They seem to have been responsible for many new farm ranges, and very extensive alterations to the existing buildings. These alterations involved the installation of floors and stairs to the farm buildings, their subdivision into rooms for accommodation and offices and major changes to the fenestration. The farmhouse was also heavily altered. Other changes to these core buildings are likely to date to the post-war use as an approved school etc., and most of these could be distinguished from the pre-war work. The Bruderhof community also erected ranges of new buildings north and west of the present courtyard, only the former of which survive, and various buildings further afield. After the war the site was used as an approved school and other residential institutional uses uses as Ashtonfield Community and many new buildings were erected on the site in the 1950s and 60s. Some of these have also been demolished.
