Abstract: |
Coppings Farm lies in open countryside at the western edge of Hemingstone adjoins the medieval common known as Broad Green. The grade II-listed timber-framed farmhouse is described as 18th century and was enlarged and remodelled in the 19th century. At the time of the Hemingstone tithe survey in 1838 the farm was a modest tenanted holding of 64 acres occupied by the eponymous William Copping. The barn to the rear of the farmhouse forms a mid-19th century multi-function example which survives with most if its original attached sheds and illustrates the extent to which the Victorian fashion for unified farm complexes penetrated even to the region's smaller holdings. It consists chiefly of pantiled red-brick with boarded and clay-lump lean-to sheds and a pair of two-storied stable and granary wings flanking a narrow yard. With the exception of a recently demolished single lean-to shed the building's original fabric and profile and remains unusually intact. The stable and the western gable of the barn incorporate the timber-framed walls of an early-17th century barn. This consists of three bays on a north-south axis and retains evidence of externally trenched corner-braces. The Victorian brick walls abut the earlier framing in an unusual and structurally adventurous manner that probably reflects the modest finances of the builder. Despite these economies the symmetry and mixed materials of the complex produces a visually attractive whole that reflects the more extensive 'model' farms found on larger gentry holdings. |
