Abstract:		 Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Ms Sanchia Ascroft to undertake archaeological works at Church Farm in Yelling, Cambridgeshire prior to changing the use of the barn into an office and altering or demolishing the adjacent outbuildings. The threshing barn is a three bayed 17th century timber box-frame structure with brick elevations and dark painted weatherboarded gables. The half-hipped roof is thatched and there are brick ventilation slits in groups of four on all elevations. The roof consists of pine rafters on a roof truss and trenched purlin structure. Arched braces support the tie beams and post. The north elevation has an outshut with lean-to roof. Because there is only one large access into the threshing floor any horse and cart would have been forced to back out of barn rather than ride through. A through way would have been impossible since the barn is built on a slope resulting in a significant drop from the floor level to the ground level in the north. The range of outbuildings to the northwest was in poor shape and little remained of the original structures. The original brickwork had an English bond with later repairs of Flemmish and Monk bond. The outbuildings may be of later date than the threshing barn, the earliest map readily available which showed the range was the Ordnance Survey map from 1887. The evaluation which comprised two trial trenches situated within Outbuildings 1, 2 and 3 did not reveal any deposits or features of archaeological significance. It did show evidence of landscaping and levelling prior to building the outbuildings. Four foundations were observed that are likely to relate to partition walls within Outbuildings 2 and 3.
