Abstract:		 A programme of historic building inspection and recording was undertaken at Poplars Farm, Kirby Bellars, Leicestershire on behalf of the owners, Mr and Mrs Bowley, who are proposing the restoration of the derelict and largely ruinous buildings. The imposing three-storey brick farmhouse is likely to have been constructed between 1790 and 1816 as part of a post-enclosure, mixed farmstead, although there is evidence to indicate that the house was built to replace an earlier building on the site. The ancilliary farm buildings are arranged around a central fold-yard and largely post-date the farmhouse; these include a barn, cow-sheds, loose-boxes, stables and pig-sties which appear to have been constructed on model farm lines, between 1850 and 1870, the boom years of British agriculture. The site has stood empty since c. 1960 and although this abandonment has resulted in the largely ruinous present state of the buildings, it has also preserved them to some extent in their original form; the layout of the farmstead does not appear to have changed significantly since the mid 19th century and as such it represents a near-complete example of its type, retaining elements such as earth closets, the bakehouse and various interior fittings.
