Description

Hollowell Grange is an extremely interesting range of farm buildings built in a single phase, probably between 1820 and 1848. The farm was built on land belonging to the Cottesbrooke Estate following a model farm design. The farm appears to have originally been a farm of some status, with an attractively finished house and modern buildings. The buildings are of a common design grouped around a central yard. Internally, there is little evidence of the building's former use, but the farm appears to have been largely used to rear dairy or beef cattle. One of the more interesting features is the survival of sunken dairy adjacent to the house. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the temporary site code 2018-HGHN until deposition with Northamptonshire County Council can be arranged under the Event Number ENN109139.
