Abstract: |
The recording of an historical building was undertaken at Eaton Farm, Stoke Prior, Herefordshire (National Grid reference SO 350927 258280). It was undertaken on behalf of Mr and Mrs Pritchard of Eaton Farm, who intend to convert an existing agricultural building to form one dwelling for which a planning application has been submitted. The project aimed to survey and record the historic building both prior to and during development in order to create a detailed record, in particular of those archaeological structures or materials which would be destroyed or damaged by the development. In addition the project was concerned with assessing whether any significant archaeological deposits were present during associated groundworks. The building at Eaton Farm was constructed in the 17th century as a cider mill when the production of cider was an important economic process within the county. The building was extended in the late 18th century as the need to diversify the crops produced on the farm arose due to a downturn in the economic viability of cider production. The building was again altered in the 19th century, as cider making again became a viable manufacturing process. In the 20th century the needs of the farm, and therefore the function of the building, changed again as the economic importance of other produce took over from cider making and finally the mill was removed from the building and it was partially converted into a house. |
