Abstract: |
Trent and Peak Archaeology (TPA) was commissioned by the National Trust to undertake an Historic Building Assessment and Record of Shugborough Park Farm, Shugborough Estate, Staffordshire (centred on SJ 991 218). The work was undertaken in January 2019 and comprised a Level 3 survey of the complex of buildings at Park Farm. Park Farm is situated centrally within the parkland of Shugborough Estate, approximately 0.5km south of Shugborough Hall. It comprises an early 19th century farmstead, with a single yard surrounded by agricultural ranges on all sides to form a full regular courtyard plan. The farmstead was designed by Wyatt in c.1803 to realise Thomas Anson II's ambitions for the creation of a model farm. It comprises a Farm Steward's House (grade II* listed) to the east of the courtyard, a mill range to the south comprising a brewhouse, malthouse and water corn mill (the latter of which is Grade II* listed), animal housing to the west and a granary, open-fronted shelter sheds and store rooms to the north (all of which are grade II listed). A dairy cottage was constructed during a subsequent phase of development to the farmstead, which is located to the south of the mill range. Despite numerous alterations to Park Farm, the overall form of the historic farmstead is coherent with its original character retained. It represents a relatively intact example of a model farm with moderate survival of features both internally and within the exterior facades. |
