Introduction
A historic building recording of Mount Pleasant Farm was undertaken by Humble Heritage Ltd in March 2019. A historic building record was required to identify and document any items of archaeological and architectural interest prior to the development of the existing farm site and conversion of agricultural buildings to dwellings and associated works and infrastructure.
The site was built as a farmstead with a courtyard plan, possibly in the early nineteenth century. It was comprehensively rebuilt in the second half of the nineteenth century, retaining a large threshing barn and two further buildings from the earlier phase. The farm evolved during the 20th century and this photographic survey documents evidence pertaining to the origins and development of the historic buildings to be converted as part of the development.
