Abstract: |
Prior to the application for Listed Building consent to renovate the Grade II* Listed former farmhouse at Slackwood Farm, Silverdale, Lancashire, an archaeological recording of the structure was requested by the Planning Officer at Lancashire County Council. The work was carried out in February 2011. There is relatively little detailed documentary evidence regarding the origins and early history of the farmhouse and the earliest maps of the site show considerable discrepancy, making interpretation and phasing of the site difficult. Slack-wood is mentioned as early as 1632, however, later documentary sources suggest that an earlier farmstead on the site was replaced in the early 18th century and it seems likely that the extant farmhouse originates from this rebuilding, although material from an earlier building, such as the numerous mullion windows could have been reused. Outshuts to the west and north-west of the farmhouse appear to be later and probably date from the late 19th or 20th century. Various other minor alterations were also carried out internally to the farmhouse during the mid to late 20th century. |
