Abstract: |
An application was made to create a dwelling by converting a barn named Low Barn on Main Street, Baycliff, Cumbria. After a recommendation by Cumbria County Council Historic Environment Service, South Lakeland District Council placed a condition on planning consent requiring a programme of building recording. The barn is associated with a farm considered to date from the late 16th century, although little information is readily available about it. The barn was certainly in existence by the early 19th century as it is shown essentially in its present form on the tithe map of 1846, and it remained largely unaltered throughout the 19th and 20th centuries. The building recording revealed that the south-east end of the building is the earliest part, and that this section probably comprised a small agricultural building that was likely to have had a cruck framed roof structure. This was then extended to the north-east with the addition of a larger threshing barn, after which the earliest section was converted into a shippon. Minor alterations were made during the late 19th and/or early 20th century, although the basic structure of the building has remained largely unchanged ever since. A particular item of interest within the building was a piece of timber, probably a bedpost, into which had been carved letters and notches. This had apparently been re-used as part of a lintel, probably during the construction of the threshing barn, and is thought to be of 17th century date. |
