Abstract: |
A survey of the historic Greenbank barn near Grindleton in Lancashire was undertaken on 5th July 2019. The survey recorded a large, rectangular barn which was probably originally built in the late 18th or early 19th century and can be seen to have undergone a number of phases of alteration. The barn is located to the west of the former farmhouse and could be seen to occupy a slight, man-made terrace on a south facing slope. The barn was built from randomly coursed local stone rubble under a stone tile roof. Greenbank barn probably dates from the 18th century and was originally a 'double' hay and threshing barn with a yards to the north and south. The barn underwent significant changes in 1817 with the infilling of the area between the cart porches on the southern side along with the remodelling of its eastern end. This remodelling entailed the realignment of the southern wall at the eastern end and the addition of two small rooms; the replacement of three of the roof trusses; and the removal of the external stairs on the northern side. The northern side of the barn also saw the eastern cart door being rebuilt. These changes would seem to coincide with a time when there was a significant national drive to improve agricultural efficiency. The final identifiable change was a small infilling between the cart shed and the main barn. |
