The longhouse at Lobb Farm has a very unusual plan as it has no cross passage between the house part and the shippon. The early 17th century fabric in room B is very unusual for a longhouse and may reflect Lobb’s location on the lower fringes of the moor, close to enclosed agricultural areas where such features are more common in 17th century farmhouses. Despite its current poor condition, Lobb Farmhouse displays a number of unusual features which make it highly interesting and well worth restoration.
