Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of the Wheat Barn and another building, formerly part of Duck End Farm, Duck End, Wilstead, Bedfordshire (TL 06053 44088), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Icknield Archaeology Ltd in advance of the proposed conversion of the building to residential use. The barn is a well-built example of a timber framed barn. The barn was originally built as a threshing barn for Duck End Farm. There is little to confirm the exact age of the barn, however, cartographic and limited physical evidence supports the listed building description of c.1800. The barn was originally part of a much larger farm complex, one of at least two large barns on the site, the other barn and the other buildings were lost in the late 20th century. The barn shows interesting evidence of the diversification of farming with the additional of open fronted shelter sheds on south east facing elevation for animal housing. Further evidence of this can be seen in the construction of a all new milking parlour to the north west in the 1950s. The archive will be deposited with Bedford Museum under the Accession Number 2016.LH.48. |
