Abstract: |
Following the submission of a planning application to redevelop a listed barn at 22 Market Street, Flookburgh, a request was made by South Lakeland District Council, that an archaeological building recording be carried out prior to the commencement of any building work. Market Street first saw development from at least 1786 although it had probably formed one of the main elements of the medieval village. The current layout of the buildings is evident on the first detailed map of the area from 1851, and it is recorded that members of the Helme family owned the site and the adjoining house during the late 19th and early 20th century. It seems likely that the datestone above the wagon doorway fronting onto Market Street probably relates to the construction of the current building in 1839, although the meaning of the initials is not certain. The barn was ostensibly original with only minor alterations to the interior relating to when it was used as a fire station during the Second World War. Many of the original features of the building were still intact; the lower-level shippon still had the original stalls in situ. The outbuildings were of a similar construction to and were probably built at around the same time as the main barn, although their exact date is unknown; it is perhaps of interest that the timbers used in the roof supports of the garage had been re-used, presumably from a nearby defunct building. |
