Abstract: |
Results of a desk-based assessment and historic building recording carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. at Anderton Farmhouse, Launcells. The work was commissioned in order to understand the date, form, function and development of the building from its origins, with the aim of informing the impact of any proposed development on the historic elements of the building. Anderton Farm is a Grade II* Listed building. Anderton is considered therefore to be of local, regional and national significance, but also of special interest, due to a number of exceptional, individually noted features, in this case, primarily the 15th century former hall roof. The building was once of gentry status, possibly a small Manor House and now significantly reduced in status, a process begun in the early 19th century. The former medieval range may have once had various associated buildings, such as a kitchen block and other service buildings which may survive (in part) within the surrounding farmyard buildings. Certainly the buildings (or parts of them) depicted in the Spoure Book appear to survive. The farmhouse is in a poor state of repair and requires urgent restoration and renovation/repair. The building contains a wealth of historic features which clearly evidence the complex developmental history of the building. |
