Abstract: |
A Level-3 archaeological building recording was carried out of the remains of Frith Hall and two lime kilns which were to be restored as part of the Holker Hall Estates Higher Level Stewardship Scheme. This comprised a desk-based assessment and descriptions and photographs of the buildings as well as the production of plans, elevations, and cross-sections using a total station. The two limekilns are first depicted on the Ordnance Survey maps of 1851 and probably belong to a phase of improvements carried out on the Holker Estate in the 19th century. Frith Hall by contrast evidently has its origins in the medieval period as a grange of Cartmel Priory. Following the Dissolution it was occupied by the Preston family, prior to the building of a more impressive home at Holker Hall, and during the 18th century it was occupied by tenant farmers. It appears to have fallen out of use by the mid-19th century, perhaps replaced by the construction of High Frith farm, although it continued to be used as a cow house. During the 20th century it fell into ruin and only small sections of the original complex now survive, the principal part of which is a large chimney. |
