Abstract: |
The buildings are very authentic and still have a strong agricultural character. They are of vernacular build with the use of granite piers and granite boulders as quoins and display some interesting phasing, evidencing the narrative of this particular holding. The buildings likely originate in the later 18th Century, with Barn 1A, the earliest in the existing range, having ovolo or chunky bead moulded timbers, clearly reused and sourced from elsewhere. Both barns are in relatively poor condition with the significant loss of historic fabric from collapse and having had all historic machinery stripped out in the 1970s. The buildings thus have reduced in historical value due to their dereliction and loss of context with the demolition of the rest of the ranges in the 1980s. They can probably still be considered to hold some limited local importance and interest to the study of Talskiddy as a small farming hamlet, and still provide a good context to the adjacent 19th century farmhouse and the wider rural character of the village. |
