Abstract: |
Historic building survey of a range of brick and stone barns and a farmhouse The majority of the surveyed buildings formed part of a linear range, with additional, later buildings forming a dispersed layout to the farmstead. Barn A has been much altered, and several distinct phases are evident in its development. The original stone barn retains evidence for two ground floor doorways and a window in its north elevation and two ground floor doorways and two first floor openings in its east gable. The dating of the stone barn is uncertain but may date to the late 17th to early 18th century. The complex appears to have been extended to the west, possibly in the early 19th century, with the addition of the western part of Barn B and an adjoining farmhouse constructed, comprising the eastern part of the Farmhouse A, as both these elements appear to have been built in a single phase. A single storey lean-to structure (D) was added to the south elevation of the barn, probably in the first half of the 19th century. This structure post-dated the extension to Barn B and pre-dated Building C to its west. The Ordnance Survey map from 1847 showed a structure that appears to correspond to this building. The 1892 Ordnance Survey map shows small buildings and attached enclosures on the south side of the barn, in the location of Buildings D to F. It seems probable that these represent pig sties, which were often positioned close to the farmhouse and/or dairy for ease of feeding. Building H is not depicted on Ordnance Survey plans until 1911, and is presumed to date to the early 20th century. The building depicted in 1911 is shorter than the recorded range, and is presumed to have been extended at some time after 1911. Little evidence remained as to the original function of this building, but it is possible it might have been constructed as a dairy. |
