Abstract: |
In August 2016, AS carried out historic building recording of a barn at No. 52 Silver Street, Buckden, Cambridgeshire. The recording was commissioned by Mr and Mrs Prothero and was carried out in order to fulfil a condition of planning consent for the repair and conversion of the barn. The recording allowed a good understanding of the assessment structure, which comprised an earlier 18th century three-bay barn of timber-framed construction with a thatched roof. The original timber-framing survives almost complete, though has long been exposed to the elements after most of the external weatherboarding was removed and the primary-braced studwork infilled with brick. Evidence suggests an original bay-width entrance on the west at the north end, perhaps lying opposite to the existing east doorway, with the interior partitioned between the north and central bay and a probable original loft at the south end. The 19th century saw extensive remodelling with the rebuilding of the dwarf wall, the application of internal horizontal boarding and the insertion or rebuilding of the loft over the north bay. It is likely that these alterations coincided with the conversion of the building to stables, though the existing internal partitions and a number of split doors belong to the latter part of the century and suggests piecemeal change throughout the 19th century. The barn as it exists now reflects its evolution and adaptation since construction and survives as a good example of the vernacular tradition within the village of Bucken. |
