Abstract: |
Prospect Archaeology was commissioned by Capla Developments Ltd to undertake an historic building survey at Gibsmere Barns, Bleasby, Notts. Planning permission was granted for the demolition of modern steel farm buildings and conversion of existing brick barns and other outbuildings to two dwellings, subject to a Level 1 survey of the buildings prior to demolition and conversion. The farm buildings are of a courtyard type with a detached farmhouse, now called Gibsmere House. The complex comprises a threshing barn, and other farm buildings around three sides of a courtyard with a connecting wall separating the farmyard from Gibsmere House. They are constructed in brick and most have pantile roofing. The oldest components of the farm are Barn 1 and threshing barn 7 which are probably contemporary with Gibsmere House, i.e. built around 1800, based purely on inspection of the bricks. The latest elements are sheds no. 4 and 6 as well as the cart shed (9) on the west side of the crewyard. However, all the buildings except for the extension and enclosure of the cart shed to a milking parlour (building 10) are present on the 1885 1:2500 OS map. A steel-framed open shed with asbestos roof, and a canopy attached to the threshing barn were constructed after World War II and before 1968. Changes to the outbuildings reflect a shift from use of horses for farm work and a move to pigs and dairy cattle. |
