| Summary: | The present phase of archaeological recording was commissioned by the current owners of the house, on the advice of their architect, property consultants Smiths Gore. The work was undertaken to inform a planning application for the restoration and repair of the shippon (cow house) at the south western end of the farmhouse. The shippon is currently in ruinous condition and is divided by a modern wall into a store and a garage. The proposed repairs would involve the reinstatement of the loft floor, which has partially collapsed, the consolidation of the walls and the repair of the roof. The restored building would be utilised as a farm office and library, with welfare facilities for farm workers. |
