Abstract:		 In September 2020 Archaeology South-East carried out a historic buildings record of the granary at Court Farm, Falmer, East Sussex. The work was requested by the South Downs National Park to be addressed as a condition placed on planning consent relating to the conversion of the existing granary building into a dwelling. Court Farm and the adjacent church of St Laurence lie at the core of the original settlement of Falmer, which is likely to have been established as a nucleated settlement during the late Anglo-Saxon period. During the medieval period Court Farm belonged to Lewes Priory, which is still attested by a vast surviving medieval barn on the site. The granary is thought to have been erected c.1782 as a large timber-framed structure with an open-fronted cartshed at ground level and a granary above. This can be related to a known period of investment in Court Farm, following its acquisition by the Pelhams of Stanmer Park in 1776. The cartshed protected the farm machinery stored here, as well as raising the valuable grain away from damp and rodents. It also allowed the grain to be easily transferred down onto the carts waiting beneath, initially via an above-ground doorway, but subsequently via a series of iron chutes. This example is unusual due to its size, and in being open on three sides when it was first built, perhaps to facilitate movement across the farmyard in which it stands.
