Abstract: |
A farmstead or dwelling is likely to have existed at this location from the earlier 19th century. The first survey prepared by the Ordnance Survey in 1815 shows some buildings at the approximate location of the present farmhouse. It is likely that the farmhouse pre-dates the farm buildings that form the subject of this report. The farm buildings first appear on Ordnance Survey maps dating from the early 1880s. The available evidence indicates that the buildings at Edens Lane represented a single phase of construction that was undertaken at some time between 1870 and 1882. The farm was constructed by a relatively wealthy family and managed as a tenanted farm. Compared to the elaborate model farms built by the Duke of Bedfordshire during the peak of 'high farming' in the 1850s (Wade Martins 2002, 143-147) the farm at Edens Lane follows a simple, more economic design which is characteristic of the planned farmsteads of the late 19th century. At Nicholas Farm a succession of different farmers are recorded in trade directories for 1890, 1903, 1910 and 1914, possibly reflecting the difficult economic conditions for farmers at this time. The buildings were subject to limited modifications during the 20th century. The alterations were mainly confined to the northern end of the east range. |
