Abstract: |
Historic building recording was undertaken in advance of residential barn conversion at Manor Farm. The buildings investigated comprise a large timber-framed barn, a stable, a range of brick and timber buildings (south range) and a range of brick workshops. The barn is a nine-bay, timber-framed, weatherboard building with opposed double-doors, the three north bays separated by a brick partition with a loft over. It has a brick sill wall and is framed with machine-sawn softwood with mostly nailed fixings. The weatherboard is applied in bay-long panels between the main wall posts, which are visible in the exterior elevations. The barn is shown in 1874 sales particulars; the materials and construction techniques suggest a probable construction date in the 1870s. The stable is a four-bay lean-to on the east side of the barn. This was built as an open-fronted shed during the early 20th-century and later enclosed with blockwork to form stables. The south range is a timber-framed on tall brick sill with a corrugated iron roof. It was built in the early 20th century to replace an earlier south range. It contains enclosed compartments at either end of a central, open-fronted section. The workshop originated as a range of farm buildings, first shown in 1900. This was substantially rebuilt in fletton brick with Crittall-type steel-framed windows, during the 1920s and 30s, and included an insulated compartment used as an apple store. It was later converted into workshops used for vintage car restoration. |
