Abstract: |
Pre-Construct Archaeology was commissioned by Archaeology Collective on behalf of their Client to carry out building recording of barns to the rear of School Hill Farm House, Fenny Compton, Warwickshire. The Site lies within a Conservation Area although none of the buildings are Listed. The Historic England Level 1 and 2 recording was carried out in order to fulfil part of an archaeological condition attached to planning permission for conversion of the barns into a single dwelling and annex. The three recorded barns are all shown on the 1887 Ordnance Survey map. The largest was constructed of coursed ironstone and was the earliest of the three buildings and may have been built in the late 18th/early 19th century. Its brick east elevation is a late 18th/early 19th century addition. Its queen post trusses with iron bolts that are also late 18th/early 19th century in date. The north gable wall of Building A was entirely constructed of coursed ironstone, while its south elevation was constructed in brick over the north gable of the neighbouring building. Its west wall was constructed in brick. The use of wrought-iron straps in its trusses suggest a late 18th/early 19th century date for the building. The roofs of Buildings A and B had been replaced in the 20th century. Building C has a distinctive rat trap brick bond, which is early-mid 19th century in date. This building appears to have been altered on the same footprint in the mid 20th century. |
