Abstract: |
In September 2020, Wardell Armstrong LLP (WA) undertook an archaeological building survey of Rogersceugh Farm, Cumbria and all associated outbuildings (NGR NY 21582 59806) in advance of the proposed demolition of the buildings. Rogersceugh Farm was part of the Lowther Estate, and settlement at this site is known from at least the 18th century. Documentary evidence regarding historic repairs to the buildings at Rogersceugh Farm, dating from 1742, relate to the repairs required for a farmhouse in very poor condition. Subsequently, plans were drawn up for the full replacement of this structure with a smallholding, comprising a farmhouse flanked by a double byre and a single byre. Remnants of this can still be seen at Rogersceugh Farm, which makes this farm a rare example of a clearly planned and designed smallholding, although it has since been significantly altered and extended to create a large farmstead. |
