Abstract: |
In October and November 2017 AS carried out a programme of historic building recording and archaeological monitoring and recording at Lower Farm, Bury Green, Little Hadham, as part of a planning condition to convert and extend an outbuilding to form a garage. The building recording found an interesting and relatively complex structure of three general phases forming the south-east side of a substantially historic farm complex set around a triangular farm yard. It consists of a narrow timber-framed range with a shallow pitched roof that in its original form accommodated a number of open-fronted bays, perhaps cart sheds and animal shelters. These were infilled for probable stable provision and retain interesting and important battened ventilation apertures along with horizontal boarding. There is an intriguing discrepancy between the general construction on the north-east and south-east. The north-west side bears affinities with an 18th century date, while the south-east is consistent with an 18th century or early 19th century date, and it is possible that elements of an earlier building were incorporated into a new structure or that the change in form was a result of a change in design at the planning stage. The roof of the structure was replaced in the earlier 20th century and the south-west end was rebuilt. The groundworks recorded archaeological layers associated with the building, most notable being a compacted chalk floor surface that appears to extend for much of the building. |
