Abstract: |
The standing building recording survey of the complex of outbuildings at Woodrow Farm, supplemented by documentary research, identified evidence of three major phases of construction and rebuilding. The site has been occupied at least since the early 18th century and probably much earlier. A detailed plan of the manor of Hanbury dated 1731 shows a house occupying the site of the farm; however, no adjacent outbuildings are shown. The OS surveyors' drawing of 1813 and the Hanbury tithe map of 1838 show that a complex of outbuildings had been erected to the SE of the farmhouse: however, its layout bears little resemblance to the existing outbuildings. This initial construction phase was represented by the northern range of Barn 3, Barn 4, the small L-shaped stable block immediately N of Barn 3, Barn 5, situated immediately adjacent to and W of Barn 3, the range of pigsties and adjacent swill house (Barn 6). A secondary phase was represented by the construction of Barn 2, lying adjacent to the E of Barn 3 and replacing an earlier structure. A small single-storey extension was added to the N of Barn 2 at some time between 1904 and 1928. The most recent phase of building activity, dating from the mid-late 1970s, was represented by the building of a brick extension to the N of Barn 2 to accommodate a workshop, together with the rebuilding of the southern range of Barn 3 and the extensive renewal of window- and door-openings in Barns 3 and 4. |
