Abstract: |
A building recording was carried out following the submission of a planning application to convert the disused barns at Hall Farm, Over Kellet. The barns are first shown on the tithe map of 1840, although subsequent maps show that there were a number of additions at the end of the 19th century. The farm formed part of the Hall Garth estate from the mid-18th century until the early 20th, and it seems likely that is was its home farm during the period. The earliest part of the current building comprises a late 18th to early 19th century bank barn built along the slope at the west end of the main block. This was extended to the east with the addition of a slightly smaller bank barn, which is probably of similar date despite the datestone of 1693, which was probably reused from another property in the local area held by the estate. This range was further enlarged with a block of pigsties and perhaps stables to the north at the east end, again before 1840, and further small additions were made subsequent to that, including an extension off the west end of the south elevation, which may have been for a horse engine. In the late 20th century the building fell into disrepair, including the collapse of most of the roof and demolition of the possible horse engine. |
