Abstract: |
James Denholm Partnership on behalf of their client, Helen Dunkley, commissioned Alder Archaeology to undertake a standing building recording on a dilapidated group of buildings known locally as the Old Manse Stables at Monzie, Perth and Kinross. The work (site code MN01) was carried out on the 26th of April 2012 during good weather. The buildings were covered in dense ivy growth and their roofs had either collapsed or were in the process of falling down, both of which limited what could be recorded during the survey. Five main phases of construction were identified reflecting the changing needs of agricultural buildings associated with the Manse between the late 18th and late 19th centuries. The functions of the various rooms included barns, cart sheds, stores, hay lofts and stables, however, there was no conclusive evidence for cattle byres or that the buildings had ever been occupied by people. The windows and doors of the main range were improved in the 19th century to create an aesthetic finish to the facades. It seems likely that these alterations correspond to the re-building of the church and possibly the Manse in the 1830s by William Stirling. The last major alteration was the construction of a new stable for large horses and the conversion of one of the old rooms to house ponies; in both the interiors were fitted out with high quality carpentry. |
