Abstract: |
An English Heritage Level 2-type archaeological building recording was carried out at Tytup Farm, near Lindal-in-Furness, Cumbria. The early historical and documentary evidence concerning the site was sparse although the name 'Tytope' is first recorded in 1537 in the Coucher Book of Furness Abbey. It seems likely that the farm was constructed as part of the Tytup Hall estate which is recorded from at least the late 16th century. The first conclusive evidence of the farm buildings is from the tithe map of 1842 when the range seems to have been completed. A fire destroyed a large part of the site in around 1890 after which it appears to have been re-built to the same design and has changed very little since. The building recording revealed five phases of building and alteration at the farm, although these could be simplified into two main phases relating to its origins, probably as a model farm for the Tytup Hall Estate, and its subsequent re-construction following a fire. There was initially a balance between arable and dairy farming at the farm but over time it would appear that dairy farming became slightly more prevalent. A bearing box in the wall of the threshing barn is perhaps the most unusual feature and suggests the use of steam power to thresh crops and produce animal feed. The buildings also included a cart shed and a granary, which might later have had an industrial function before becoming a mechanic's workshop. |
