Abstract: |
In January 2006 Archaeological Services and Consultancy Ltd (ASC) carried out historic building recording of Mill Farm, Charlton Road, Hitchin, Hertfordshire in response to proposals for the conversion of buildings on the site to residential use. The site consists of 5 barns of varying degree of antiquity and several ad hoc, modern outbuildings that were not recorded in any detail. The earlier part of the barn complex consists of the two parallel ranges to the north that form a yard that is open ended to the south. The range to the east consists of three distinct barns of which the southern two are under a single roof. The range to the west is now a single entity having been largely rebuilt in the 20th century. The remaining barn and outbuildings are loosely arranged to the south of the yard. The development of Mill Farm Barns appears to hinge on three major phases of activity after the initial erection of Barn 1 on the site in the late 18th/early19th century. The complex was considerably enlarged in the early 19th century with the addition of Barns 2 and 4. Barn 5 was added in the mid 19th century, possibly at the same time as Barns 1-2 and Barn 4 were extended. The final major phase was the 20th century rebuilding of Barn4 and the addition of the remaining outbuildings. |
