Abstract: |
This document is an archaeological standing building survey of outbuildings at Norris Hill Farm, Blackfordby Lane, Moira, Leicestershire (SK 32481 17380), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Mr G.T. Massey in advance of the proposed conversion of the buildings to residential use. The outbuildings Norris Hill Farm are known heritage assets and curtilage listed as part of Norris Hill Farm, they are an extremely interesting range of buildings built during the 1860s and following the most modern and up-to-date model farm principles of the period. The farm was constructed on a virgin site and later became associated with the nearby Norris Hill Hall, before the two were sold into separate ownership only to come under the ownership of George Massey Snr in the 1930s. The buildings are extremely well laid out with feeding passages in all of the cowsheds allowing full and under cover access to all of the animal rearing areas of the buildings. The success of this original layout is confirmed by the significant lack of modern alterations which have occurred to the buildings since. The archive will be held by Leicestershire County Council Museums Service, under the accession number X.A110.2018. |
