Abstract: |
Albion Archaeology was commissioned to undertake historic building recording in advance of conversion of former farm buildings to residential use at Chestnut Cottage, Ravenstone. The buildings form a U-shape around a yard open to the south. The north range consists of a barn aligned end-on to the street frontage. The east and west sides are single storey ranges. The south end of the west range and all of the east range are in separate ownership and were not included in the survey. The barn has double doors in its south side and a blocked draught door in the north wall. A stone in the west gable carries the date 1822. The roof has a thatched western section and king post roof at the east. Internally the barn is divided into two by a narrow, first floor gallery, lit by an inserted window. Buildings in the western range comprised an open-fronted shelter shed, a tack room and stables. The west range is covered by a queen post roof. Structurally the barn is the earliest building with the other ranges abutting it at straight joins. Details in the western range and the inserted first-floor window in the barn are consistent with the inscribed date. The eastern and western ranges may have been added in the early 19th century to an earlier barn to form the present courtyard arrangement. |
