Abstract: |
Weirfield House is an internally modified example of a Victorian house set in the countryside. It was built at the peak of the Victorian housing boom c.1875 and was situated at a discrete distance north of Penistone Union Workhouse, later called the Netherfield Annexe. After less than 20 years the house was bought and converted into Penistone's Grammar School. This involved extensive modifications to the original house as well as a series of new purpose built educational buildings that date up to the 1960s. The report concentrates on the historic 18th and 19th century buildings with the aim of providing a permanent record of the buildings. There are 3 main buildings: Weirfield House, The Stables which were rebuilt in 1900 and the Fulford Building which was built in 1911. Many original features relating to polite Victorian architecture have been recorded at Weirfield and an array of original fixtures recorded in the Fulford Building. The stables retain very few original features but the later school survives largely in its original form. The report recommends further archaeological work should demolition of any the buildings take place. |
