Summary: | An historic building record of a group of farm buildings at Waddeton Barton Barns, Stoke Gabriel was prepared by AC archaeology in
February 2014. The work was required prior to their conversion into accommodation.
Three of the barns were constructed in the mid-late 19th century, with two functioning
as cowhouses with laylofts over. They formed an extension to the existing farm
complex and were associated with diversification into the rearing of cattle. In the late
19th- or early 20-century they were altered and a new combination barn with a
stable, card sheds and hayloft/threshing floor constructed. In the later 20th century
this building was extended and partially converted into a dairy. Alterations were also
made to the other buildings. |
