Summary
Hunsbury Hill Farm is an early example of a model farm built c1770. The farm buildings are arranged in a flattened octagon west of the main farmhouse. Two large barns for hay and corn dominated the yard but prior to 1810 two long feeding sheds with a capacity for more than 100 cattle were added. In the later 19th century some of the ancillary farm buildings were altered or replaced as farming methods improved and requirements changed.
