Introduction
A historic building recording of eleven barns at Newsam Green Farm, Newsam Green Road, Newsam Green, Leeds, West Yorkshire was undertaken by ASWYAS prior to the development of the buildings to complete the planning condition attached to the approved planning application 20/02223/FUL and 20/02224/LI.
Newsam Green Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building which was built as a farmstead in the mid-to-late 18th century, and was a tenement farm owned by the holder of the Temple Newsam estate.
The recorded agricultural buildings comprise; a mid 18th-century seven bay threshing barn with integral first floor granary; a mid-to-late 19th-century cow house, cartshed, and bothy; a late 19th-century cart shed, and a cow house with attached feed store and hayloft. The earlier cart shed was adapted to become an engine house at this time, with a drive shaft and fly wheel still in situ, attached to an Albion chaff cutter; and an early 20th-century stable block, cart shed with first floor granary, implement shed, enclosed yard, garages and workshop buildings. An earlier mid-to-late 18th-century structure was converted into a pigsty, with adjoining kennel and first floor store also in the early 20th century. It was determined that three earlier stone built buildings had been incorporated into the later farmstead buildings, and were of a probable 16th/17th-century date.
