Introduction
This digital archive contains images from an analytical buildings record at Hallwood Farm, Petrockstowe, Devon. The analytical buildings recording was undertaken by AC Archaeology on the 8th February 2022 in advance of their conversion into two dwellings.
A historic building record of a group of 19th-century barns was prepared prior to their conversion into residential units. It comprised a measured survey, a written description, and a photographic record.
The buildings formed part of a larger planned farmstead (constructed in the mid-19th century (between 1840-1887). They comprise (in known or probable order of construction): a threshing barn; a cowshed with hay loft; stables with a hay loft (currently known as the livestock shed); and a pair of open-fronted sheds, probably originally cart and implement sheds, and now known as the stores. A horse engine house was added to the threshing barn around the turn of the 20th century, and mechanised threshing was later powered by a steam engine; this involved changes to the horse engine house and the power supply into the barn.
At various times in the 20th century repairs were made to the buildings, including some perhaps relating to replacement of cob due to weather damage from rain. Some buildings remained in their original use, but others were converted to stores.
