Abstract: |
In November and December 2012 Archaeology South-East (a division of the Centre for Applied Archaeology, UCL) carried out a programme of historic building recording of the Grade II listed farmhouse at Stanwell Farm, Bedfont Road, Stanwell, Surrey (NGR: 506903 174220). Since the late 1990s the house has stood vacant and in 2010 the house suffered a lightning strike, causing the chimney and a substantial portion of the roof to collapse. The work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to satisfy a condition placed upon listed building consent (10/00938/LBC) concerning the proposed demolition of the building. Aside from the building's current state of dereliction, the house as it stands - having largely escaped modernisation in the 20th century, is a relatively unaltered example of a modest farmhouse dating to the late-18th or early-19th century. Within the building however, there are fragmentary pieces of evidence to suggest that parts of an earlier building may have been incorporated within the existing structure. The historic documentary research has confirmed the existence of a house and farm on the site prior to the late-18th/early-19th century, and the maps show a change in the footprint of the farmhouse between 1748 and 1829 implying a substantial phase of rebuilding/modification at some point during this period. The later development of the site appears to be fairly typical, the maps suggesting the usual addition of smaller buildings for the housing of animals, carts and machinery, and by the mid-20th century the site clearly had an emphasis on the rearing of pigs. |
