Description

Archaeological standing building survey of outbuildings at Broughton Grange, Kettering, Northamptonshire (SP 85797 76497), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by The Boughton Estates Ltd in advance of the proposed conversion of the outbuildings to commercial and residential use. The outbuildings associated with Broughton Grange are largely late 19th or early 20th century in date, but have retained some limited structural elements of earlier buildings on the site. There are a number of unusual characteristics within the buildings, most notably the roof structure of building A, which is of an archaic design. The roof coverings are also unusual and are of a type normally found in the south west of England. The recorded buildings are likely to represent the change from a largely arable farm to a mixed or more livestock oriented farm, probably a change bought on by the rapid industrialisation and population growth in nearby Kettering in the 19th century. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the temporary site code 2014-BGKN until deposition with Northamptonshire County Council can be arranged. Information from OASIS Online Form.
