Abstract: |
Despite unsympathetic recent changes, East Pitten is a well-preserved example of a substantial farmhouse of the late 17th or early 18th century. It shows a development from the classic three-room and cross-passage layout to a double-pile house integrating rooms for agricultural use; a separate range at the back of the house housed a kitchen, services, and probable accommodation for farm labourers. This kind of farmhouse is much more unusual than those which show a gradual evolution from a medieval core. The building retains both its old roofs, one an impressive eleven-bay structure; investigation of the fabric prior to demolition revealed much evidence for historic building practices. |
