Abstract: |
A level 2 historic building recording was carried out at 7 King Street, Sileby, Leicestershire. The archaeological work was commissioned from University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) in advance of the conversion of the main farmhouse and outbuilding. Some other barns and outbuildings will be demolished.
The buildings included in the survey included all standing buildings within the site (i.e. the two storey detached farmhouse, two barns, single-storey outbuilding to the rear, brick/stone walls to all boundaries, and a further small single-storey outbuilding). The site consists of an 18th century brick-built range with at least two phases identified by blocked windows which were replaced to create a more symmetrical façade. To the rear of this range is an earlier rear range built mostly of local stone patched with brick. Traces of possible earlier stonework can also be seen on the gable end of the 18th century range. Within the house many of the larger timbers are clearly older and have been re-used from elsewhere. Also on site are two brick-built barns, one of late 18th century date and the other is later 19th century which both belonged to an earlier open-courtyard range of buildings. Two small outbuildings are also present. A boundary wall built of stone and brick with a range of different ages runs around the west and north of the site. |
