Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake historic building recording in advance of conversion of former farm buildings to residential use at Manor Farm, Wood Burcote (Plots 3 and 4). The buildings are part of a wider farm and date to the late 19th century and are made of coursed limestone with brick dressings. They comprise a full height barn along with a series of stock sheds, pig pens and open-fronted shelters forming a U-shape around a yard open to the south-east. The barn contained a line shaft and its size suggests use for processing animal feed rather than storage. A tie beam in the barn has an inscribed date of 1861. The farm was built as part of agricultural improvements made by the Fermour-Hesketh estate and the cast iron rainwater heads carry the family crest. A number of strap hinges suggest re-use from earlier buildings |
