March 2009. Building Survey.
Survey of buildings prior to their proposed conversion.
The brick gable walls and returns date to around 1600 and denote the former presence of a timber frame, the frame being replaced in the 18th century by brick and flint. An additional timber framed barn with brick gable wall was added to one end in the first half of the 17th century and a brick barn to the opposite end in the late 17th century. All three barns were raised in height and provided with a single roof c. 1800 and it was at this time that the additional barn was replaced by brick and the second brick barn given art doorways. A cart house and granary was added in the 19th century. A catslide pentise was added to the barns in the 19th century and a horse gin house in 1911.
See report (S2) and (S3) for further details. The results of this survey are also summarised in (S4).
