| Abstract: |
The photographic recording of this farmstead was undertaken to accompany a drawn survey and written description in May, 2022, using digital photography. All elevations were photographed as far as possible face-on and from a consistent height and perspective. Where possible, all record photographs included a scaled ranging pole. Where it was not possible to capture an entire elevation in a single photograph because of the constricted nature of the site, a series of partial elevations were recorded along with an oblique overall view of the full elevation. In addition, an attempt was made to research the history of the building through locally available historic maps and records which could shed light on the history of the buildings, although little of significance was located other than historic Ordnance Survey plans. The extensive complex of buildings known as Hall Farm, one of three, closely-associated farms in Archdeacon Newton, probably has its origins, as a manorial Hall, in the later medieval period but elements of it survived when the complex was remodelled as a planned farm in the early 19th century, sine when it has undergone several phases of addition and alteration. The buildings are mostly built of roughly-coursed Magnesian Limestone rubble, with some use of brick and later buildings entirely of brick. Apart from the important ‘old hall’ structure now forming the greater part of the east range of farm-buildings, there is little that can be claimed to be of highly-significant architectural or historic interest in the extant above-ground fabric, although the remaining farm-buildings are of considerable local interest especially in view of their relative completeness, with the core buildings around a central yard formed as a group in the middle part of the 19th century. The best of these buildings is the current south range bordering the south side of the open stockyard, but the south-west angle of the original north part of the eastern range (itself perhaps a remnant of an earlier North range, seen on the Tithe Plan) has well cut quoins of quite archaic appearance which may be a remnant of a much-altered earlier building, potentially contemporary with the adjacent ‘old hall’. |
