Abstract: |
Park Farm lies in open arable countryside on the northern side of the road at Dandy Corner, approximately 1 km north-east of Cotton village. The farmhouse adjoins the road to the west of the site and is a grade II-listed timber-framed structure of the late-16th or early-17th century with a particularly fine plaster cartouche bearing the date 1691 to its front (eastern) elevation. Of a substantial complex of farm yards and buildings shown on late-19th century maps only an early-19th century timber-framed barn alongside the farmhouse and a mid-19th century clay-lump barn to the north now survive: the rest of the site was rebuilt in the mid-20th century and includes a Fletton brick workshop and vehicle shelter, a calf shed of cement blocks and a steel-framed cattle yard. The timber-framed and weatherboarded barn is a 'Napoleonic' example of circa 1800 in four bays which retains all four original arch-braces to its threshing bay and bolted-knee braces elsewhere. Its distinctive outline is shown on the tithe map of 1840 when the farm was a substantial tenanted holding of 176 acres shared between two occupants. The maps shows just two other outbuildings, of which one was possibly a bake-house in close proximity to the house. |
