Full description

Steinmetzer, M., 2015, Historic Building Appraisal at Fenacre, Farm, Burlescombe (Report - Assessment). SDV360057.

Oakford Archaeology were commissioned by Property Plans Southwest Ltd in August 2015 to undertake an archaeological buildings appraisal at the site of Fenacre Farm, Burlescombe, Devon (ST 0696 1784). The archive and documentary research indicates that the site has been in continuous occupation probably since the late 11th century and that the current house was probably laid out in the late-17th century.

The building range to the east of the threshing barn first shown on the 1822 conveyancing map appear to have remained in use until the 1970s. It is difficult to be certain of the form and function of these building as little now remains. Some of the range may have functioned as labourers’ cottages as the 1889 Ordnance Survey map seems to indicate small gardens at the rear of the two distinct properties, while the building between these and the threshing barn may have functioned as a store.

At the north-western corner of the threshing barn a further building projected to the north. Very little of the building now remains; it appears to have opened onto the farmyard through a doorway and it is possible that this was some kind of agricultural store.
