Middle Week was first mentioned as 'Middlewyke' in 1340 when it was part of the manor of Aish. It was owned by the Battishill family thrrough the 16th and 17th centuries The hamlet consists of a group of buildings on the north side of the lane, a new farmhouse to the south-east and a disused farmhouse and further buildings to the west of the lane to the east of the new farmhouse. The disused farmhouse at Middle Week is an L-shaped building forming the south-west corner of the group of buildings to the east of the new farmhouse. The old farmhouse is built down the hillslope on a roughly north-south axis. It faces east onto the yard and forms the north end of the west range of the stockyard. The southern part of the range is a lofted shippon. The south side of the range is closed by a range of single storey open fronted shelter sheds which date from the 19th century. Across the yard is an 18th century L-shaped linhay forming the north and east sides of the stockyard. The old farmhouse was built with the adjoining shippon and linhay in the early or mid 18th century. Extensive repairs were undertaken in the 19th century. The house was abandoned in 1972 and part of the north end was demolished and converted to an open-fronted trailer shed.
