Abstract:
The study buildings are located within the farmyard of Smith's Farm, off Foxhall Road, Didcot (NGR SU 51799 90311). The buildings are two brick built farm buildings that form the northern and southern sides of the former farmyard, located to the west of Smith's Farmhouse, a grade II listed building. The buildings fall within the curtilage of this building; the site is also located within the Old Didcot conservation area. The earliest structure is the southern building, elements of which may have originated as a medieval structure or, more likely, re-used from an earlier medieval building.The low height of the ceiling on the ground floor suggests that the building served as a cow house rather than a stable, with an overhead loft presumably used for storing feed. However, a horseshoe over the door perhaps indicates otherwise. The building was extended to the west in the late 18th or early 19th century, when an additional stable building was added. The northern building is likely to have been built in the late 18th or early 19th century; the western end of the building housed a cart or animal shelter shed, while the eastern end was divided into a series of probable loose boxes. The eastern rooms were later reworked in order to accommodate a refrigeration room.
