Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In June 2009, ARCUS were commissioned to undertake historic building recording and a structural watching brief of Thorpefield Farmhouse, Thorpe Street, Thorpe Hesley, Rotherham, South Yorkshire (NGR SK 3774 9624). A programme of archaeological recording was required to fulfil a planning condition for proposed alterations of the building (planning application numbers: RB 2007/2388 - APP/P4415/A/08/2077267 and RB 2007/2389 - APP/P4415/A/08/2077278). The programme comprised 35mm and medium format photography, the production of measured plans and sections, a structural watching brief during demolition, as well as brief cartographic research. Thorpefield Farm was located within the historic core of the village of Thorpe Hesley, and fell within the boundaries of a Conservation Area. The remaining dwelling represents an example of two former 18th-19th-century farm cottages within the village. Although these were part of a larger farm complex, the related structures have been demolished. Initially Thorpefield farmhouse would have functioned as a single dwelling for a large family with a few servants. The farmhouse was subsequently divided into separate dwellings in the mid-twentieth century when we see rapid urban growth in Thorpe Hesley that resulted in the diffusion of the previous residents. The consequent rearrangement of internal walls likely also dated to this period reflecting shifting perceptions of interior spaces in line with more recent trends.
