Abstract: |
In August 2017 Archaeological Research Services Ltd was commissioned by Mr Will Atkinson to produce a heritage statement of Manor Farm, Marr Doncaster which revises and updates the cultural heritage desk based assessment and historic building appraisal which was first produced by Archaeological Research Services Ltd in 2012. The heritage statement was required to determine the impact of the new proposed development to convert the farmstead into residential dwellings. The Manor Farm complex has been assessed as being a national heritage asset originally developed in the late 18th or early 19th century, with the construction of the farmhouse and several outbuildings including a threshing barn. Further development involved the construction of additional farming ranges during the first quarter of the 19th century, which constituted the present courtyard. Some of the mid-19th century buildings in Marr and the Brodsworth estate were built or redesigned in an Italianate architectural style as seen amongst some of standing structures within Manor Farm complex. Subsequent sequential development involved the construction of further ranges towards the west in the late 19th century. Modern construction entailed the erection of large grain stores around the third quarter of the 20th century which would have involved the demolition of former structures as indicated by earlier cartographic records.
The majority of the standing structures have undergone substantial alterations resulting in partial loss of their significance. Furthermore, since the previous site visit in 2012 some of the buildings have deteriorated to the point where they are only represented by segments of masonry or single elevations.
The impact assessment takes into consideration the state of disrepair of some of the buildings, the unsightly 20th century structures which are proposed to be demolished and the impact of the development on the farm house and concludes that the impact would be medium to low. |
