Abstract: |
In June 2013, Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Hough Construction to undertake an archaeological building recording of Stretton Mill Farm, Stretton. The work was carried out following the submission of a planning application (South Staffordshire Council Reference 07/00426/FUL) relating to the conversion of the Mill and farm buildings and development of the site. The historic building recording of the Mill and farm buildings has provided information relating to the history of site, as well as providing a record and assessment of the standing remains. The building recording has also refined the chronology of the present buildings as follows. PHASE 1: late 18th century - re-built medieval mill in brick, probably incorporating earlier timbers, with office building and construction of house. PHASE 2: early 19th century - Addition of second floor to mill, construction of barn 1, the central part of barn 2 and bays 4 and 5 of barn 3. PHASE 3: c1850s - Addition of third floor to mill, addition of northern mill wheel with gearing and millstones and construction of building to east. Construction of bays 1, 4 and 5 of barn 2 and bay 3 of barn 3. PHASE 4: c1870 - Insertion of floor to barn 1 and infilling of south-east wall, insertion of bay3 to barn 2, construction of bays 1 and 2 and the rear wall of the western bay of barn 3 with the infilling of the archways in bay 1. PHASE 5: c1901-1921 - Extension of western bay of barn 3 and conversion to milking parlour and dairy. PHASE 6: mid-20th century - Infilling of cart entry and creation of new opening in north-west wall of barn 1, insertion of partition walls into bay 2 of barn 3 and into bay 2 of barn 2. |
