Abstract: |
In February and March 2010 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of historic building recording of a listed barn and outbuilding at Sibleys Farm, Chickney Road, Henham, Essex (NGR TL 565 297). The historic building recording was carried out to comply with a planning condition to convert buildings to residential use. The analysis confirmed the findings of the list description. The barn originally had three bays with a narrower central bay framing a plain loading door. This was later raised in height and a second doorway created on the opposing wall. The framing on the long elevations was originally filled with wattle and daub panels, but these were later replaced with render and weather-boarding. In the later 17th century, the barn was extended by two further bays in broadly similar style, a 'terminus ante-quem' for which is provided by an inscribed date of 1683. Almost all the original timber-work of the late 16th century survives in remarkably good condition. Later intervention has been minimal but modern external repair is evident. The eastern extension has been affected by repair and remodelling to a greater degree, having lost the lower framing on two sides, though the original form can be reconstructed with confidence. The associated outbuilding is a late 18th or early 19th century cart-shed, built in oak and elm to a highly systematic construction. The use of cement in the lower areas has compromised the structural security of the building, and benign neglect has activated decay in the timbers. |
