Abstract: |
Rame Barton (formerly Place) and the farm buildings adjoining to its east lie within a substantial rectangular enclosure (a Medieval Playing Place?), to which Rame Barton Farmhouse was an adjunct. The road through Rame Church-Town passed along the east side of this enclosure, aligned on the church to the south-south-east. This suggests that the rectangular enclosure was a significant feature in the landscape, possibly of medieval origin, and that the post-medieval mansion house of Rame Place lay centrally, towards its south end. There is evidence that the demolished east range may have been the main part of the house and that a west wing was developed in the 18th-19th century into the present house which survives today, entered via a short drive through the enclosure from its north-east corner. A wholesale re-planning of the agricultural buildings and their separate farmhouse seems to have occurred in the 1860s, part of a rationalisation of the Edgcumbe Estate's agricultural holdings. The Barton farmhouse was demolished, the buildings re-built, and the former mansion became the farmhouse, subsequently becoming a B and B. Rame Barton was a Farmhouse, now house of 16th or early 17th century origins, now surviving as ruin to east, a roofless courtyard with walls standing to first floor, with attached lean-to stores and sheds. Significant 18th and 19th century remodelling and extension of the former rear wing, now constitutes the surviving main house, with a 19th century north frontage. The proposed site of the new dwelling is within the level area, immediately next to and abutting the pottery studio. |
