Abstract: |
Poplar Farm adjoins a medieval green, now largely enclosed, and probably occupies a medieval site as its unlisted farmhouse contains part of a substantial 16th century timber frame. The holding was of modest proportions, containing 67 acres in 1840 along with 7 'common rights'. The outline of the farm buildings has changed very little since the Ordnance Survey of 1884, with a series of animal yards flanked by a barn and several sheds, but the northern half of the complex has already been converted for domestic use and precise analysis is hampered accordingly. The unlisted three-bay timber-framed barn is a good example of its type, dating from the early-18th century but consisting largely of re-used timbers. It retains much of its original clasped-purlin roof structure and several panels of wattle-and-daub. A narrow porch with an unusually wide and low door was added to the rear elevation later in the 18th century, along with a pair of lean-to sheds. A separate clay-lump shed was added in the mid-19th century. Although of considerable historic interest the farm buildings are not of sufficient age or sufficiently well-preserved to merit listing. |
