Abstract: |
Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by JSF Properties Limited to undertake a programme of historic building recording as a condition of planning consent to convert agricultural buildings into residential use at 15 Ramsey Road, Ramsey Forty Foot in Cambridgeshire. The site is location in the northeast part of the village, east of Ramsey Road. The structures are not listed however Bridge Farm House 12m northwest is and may therefore fall within a curtilage listing. The Grade II listed farmhouse is of early 19th century date and it is highly likely the agricultural buildings are contemporary. The earliest readily available map from 1888 show both the farmhouse and the barns in existence at that time. The structures comprise two semidetached agricultural buildings. The red brick barn in English bond with corrugated sheet roof, contained a stable, an animal shelter, storage and a hay loft. It is likely to date back to the early 19th century and be contemporary with the farmhouse to the northwest. The farm appears to have expanded in the mid to late 19th century and there was the need for a second barn. The yellow Gault brick barn in Flemish garden wall bond and slate roof, abuts the red barn to the south. Two, opposing, large doors in the centre of the buildings suggests it may have functioned as a threshing barn. The barn to the north appears to have kept its original use until recently (now used as storage). The threshing barn would have changed its use some time ago, when is uncertain. |
