Abstract: |
In March 2007, North Pennines Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Walling UK Properties to undertake a Level 3 Building Survey at Kirk House, Over Kellet, Lancashire. The survey was concerned with redundant farm buildings, which are regarded as being of historical and archaeological interest, prior to their conversion to dwellings. The survey revealed that at least one of the buildings, an example of a ''Lancashire Barn'', was present on the site in 1840, but probably dates to much earlier, possibly the eighteenth century. The Lancashire barn is a typical example of a combination barn having been used to house several functions, i.e. hand-flail threshing, storage of processed and un-processed crops and a cowhouse and root store with loft above. Two further buildings were added to the western side of the site in the nineteenth century, these included a cowhouse or stable with granary above, and a further barn possibly to store either machinery or crops. As well as the farm buildings that were the subject of the present survey, several other buildings on the site date to the nineteenth century or earlier including the farmhouse which has a possible re-used date stone of 1676, and a nice example of a folly which incorporated two pig sties and a hen house amongst other functions. |
