Abstract:		 In October 2012 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out historic building recording at Bancroft Farm in Hertfordshire in order to comply with a condition attached to planning permission. The recording revealed a complex development with the earliest structure dating to the probable late 17th century (Range 1), but in many respects the farm mirrors a typical development of an agricultural complex from that period to the 20th century. The modest nature of the farm is reinforced by the extensive reuse of so much earlier timber, but in buildings disposed around a courtyard in the manner advocated by improvers of farming and farm buildings in the 18th and 19th century. The second phase saw the addition of Ranges 3 and 4 which comprised open-fronted sheds, livestock areas and storage. Alteration has been extensive, notable in the 20th century, with a change to dairy farming when Range 4 was widened as both building were converted to milking parlours. Range 2 is more clearly 19th century and appears to replace earlier ranges located slightly to the west on the earlier maps. The 20th century also saw the enclosing of the south side of the courtyard with a Fletton brick range (Range 5) as well as the farmyard enclosed with a Dutch barn (Range 6). Modification for 20th century farming has also altered the original buildings greatly, which would probably not warrant listing, but they remain an interesting component of the local historic landscape.
