Full description
Horner, W., 1995, Site Visit (Site Visit). SDV56546.
An outbuilding at Pitt Farm has had a number of features revealed by owner, Mr. Garrett. The cobbled floor with drainage channel is currently exposed. In the south wall there is a large fireplace with large oak lintel resting on what appears to have been a beerstone surround, though it is not clear if this stone has been reused. On the left side of the fireplace a former smoking chamber has been bricked up and the recess converted to a brewing vat. Above this feature, in the loft, it is possible to see measure marks on a door frame. To the right hand side of the fireplace former bread oven alcove has been converted to a malt oven. A lattice brick/tile structure is visible extending up into the loft space. A number of the beams supporting the loft floor are marked with Roman numerals, possibly excise marks for the equipment locations of a licensed brewery. Overall the building gives the impression of being a post-medieval farm dwelling substantially converted to a malthouse/brewery, probably in the 19th century.
