Introduction

This collection comprises of reports, images, photogrammetry, LiDAR, vector and GIS data from a historic building recording commissioned by Fusion and undertaken by Wardell Armstrong at Durham Farm, Bowood Lane, Wendover Dean, Buckinghamshire in 2020 and 2021.

Project Summary

An interim building recording report (Ref: 1EW03-FUS_WAR-EV-REP-CS03_CL05-000001) was produced prior to the intrusive soft-strip and demolition works, which informed the salvage audit building (Ref: 1EW03-FUS-EV-REP-CS03_CL05-009438). A Level 3 historic building recording, following the Historic England Guidance on Building Recording (2016) was undertaken to provide a full and analytical account of the building, its structural development, history and setting. A 3D model of the building was created in the course of this survey. Buildings at Durham Farm comprise the principal buildings at the centre of the farm, and adjacent modern agricultural outbuildings to the west and east, all of which are located on the north side of Bowood Lane. The principal buildings at Durham comprise a broadly u-shaped range of brick and timber-built buildings of 18th to 19th century date, the farmhouse at the centre with stabling to the east and barn and outbuildings to the west. The remainder of the buildings, further east and west, comprise additional agricultural outbuildings of corrugated iron, concrete and metal construction, built in various phases throughout the 20th century.

Re-Use Value Statement

The buildings retained significance as examples of the local vernacular architecture. Their overall poor condition and level of modern intervention, however, greatly impacted upon their historic and aesthetic value. It was possible to salvage some fittings, such as Bakelite plug sockets and light switches, cast-iron shelve fittings and hooks. Attempts were made to salvage building material, such as the earlier floorboards, however the level of deterioration made it not possible to retain these features.

The data produced presents a full record of the farmhouse and historic barns, which may aid in further analysis of similar structures and the development of farmsteads within Wendover Dean.
