This collection comprises images from a Level 2/3 historic building recording undertaken by Archaeological Research Services Ltd at Wakebridge Farm, Crich, Derbyshire in April 2019. This was in order to discharge planning permission for the redevelopment of the site to provide a hotel with restaurant, bar, sheep dairy enterprise and associated creamery.
The complex is located on the site of the former medieval manor of Wakebridge. The former hall was demolished in 1771 and a new farmhouse was built in 1772. The Grade II Listed farmhouse remains to this day with a datestone attributed to Peter Nightingale (owner) and date of construction. The farmstead has various associated buildings, some of historical value, and others which are 20th century additions to the complex. As such, not all of the buildings on the site have been recorded, only those which have architectural and historical significance.
