Abstract: |
The methodology employed for this program of building recording is based upon key professional guidance, including predominantly the Standard and Guidance for Historic Environment Desk-Based Assessment (Chartered Institute for Archaeologists, 2014); and English Heritage guidance (now Historic England) Conservation Principles (2008). The building recording has been undertaken to Level 2 as defined in Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice (Historic England 2016). The record and report is also informed by the Brief for a Programme of Archaeological Building Recording of Farm Buildings at Litchfield Lane, Creaton, Northamptonshire, prepared by Liz Mordue, Assistant Archaeological Advisor for Northamptonshire County Council (November 2016). Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned by Signature Homes LLP in November 2016 to record a single-storey brick cow house at College Farm, prior to its demolition to enable the discharge of a planning condition (Application number: DA/2014/0750).
The cow house is not listed, locally-listed, or within a Conservation Area.
The cow house at College Farm is a local example of the drive towards High Farming during the mid-Victorian period, where the emphasis was on livestock and agricultural efficiency. Of itself it is not a notable building architecturally, but it does confirm an efficient approach to construction using machine-cut timbers and locally-sourced brick.
The building’s continuing value into the 20th-century is confirmed by the range of repairs and small modifications, undertaken such, that its last agriculturally-related purpose was as a modest milking-parlour. |
