Abstract: |
In March 2012 AS carried out historic building recording of a number of farm buildings at Brickhouse Farm, Debden, Essex. The buildings comprise an important element of a larger farm complex with medieval origins, both with the obvious presence of the Wealden-type farmhouse but also the survival of an associated domestic medieval building of a similar or slightly later date (Building 1). With the house's conversion to an agricultural building in about the 17th century, the complex of farm buildings expanded significantly over the next 200 years to include typical buildings associated with a prospering farm; the cartshed, granary, further building for livestock or crop storage, with later additions being carried out in the 19th as well as the 20th century. Elements of change were probably associated with scientific developments in the 18th century and 19th centuries, which saw improvements to livestock practices and this, along with the agricultural depression that followed, saw increased livestock farming in the county. The presence of a number of mangers and other ephemeral traces in the barns and outshuts suggests it is likely that many of the farm buildings housed animals at this point. |
