Abstract: |
Historic building recording was undertaken on behalf of Mr Edward Yarnold at Court Farm, Hanley Child, Nr Tenbury, Worcestershire (NGR ref SO 65106517; HER ref WSM 37302). Court Farm outbuildings consist of a threshing barn, stable and animal sheds now enclosing a yard. The barn and stable appear to pre-date the animal sheds and may date from the 17th century, but are more probably 18th century. The 7-bay barn retains roof trusses and bay divisions, a threshing floor and original square oak wattle panelling above red sandstone coursed rubblestone walls with two types of ventilation holes. Adaptations to the north wall and remaining metal fixtures may relate to a horse-powered threshing machine and housing. The stable is of similar construction without panelling. It contains a three-horse manger and hay chutes leading from an upper floor hayloft and a separate loose box with small tack room. The construction of the 19th century animal shed completed enclosure of the farmyard and the roof trusses are of King Post type with metal bolts between tie beam and post with some details of the animal stalls remaining. The adaptations and repairs visible in the buildings reflect the changes in agricultural processes and practices in this area throughout the period. |
