Abstract: |
A building evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Mr R Hughes at Lower Farm, Grafton, Beckford, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO 9846 3714; SMR ref WSM 3615). The buildings at Lower Farm have proved to have a history more important than initially appears. The large L-shaped barn was originally a hall house dating the late medieval period and situated on the edge of the deserted medieval village of Grafton. The farm seemed to develop from this single vernacular house into a prosperous holding to include stables, cow shed, threshing barn and more domestic accommodation. The village of Grafton is now very small and the survival of this late medieval building is significant for the history of the village and the local area. |
