Abstract:		 Prior to the submission of a planning application for the conversion of a disused barn at Petty Hall, Orton, Cumbria Greenlane Archaeology was carried out a heritage statement. This comprised a desk-based assessment and building recording, undertaken in March 2019. Petty Hall has a date stone of 1604, although it may have earlier origins. It belonged to the Birkbeck family, who were originally from Hornby Hall near Brougham. It passed, perhaps through marriage, to Christopher Petty, from whom it now takes its name, before passing to the Garnetts. They constructed the barn, which has a date stone of 1740. The barn represents a good example of a bank barn of relatively early date, built with its long side set into the slope. It would have had a threshing floor on the upper floor and housing for cattle below. Unusually, it also incorporated a passageway from east to west at its south end and a small outshut on the west side extending over both floors, which probably served as a grain store. Maps show it retained its original footprint throughout the 19th century, but in the early 20th century, after 1915, it had a concrete block extension added to the west to provide additional cattle housing. This late addition perhaps related to legislative changes regarding the housing of animals made in the 20th century. A further timber shed clad with corrugated metal sheeting was also added after that.
