Building record 286/1/1 - Farm buildings at Edgcote Lodge Farm

Early 19th-century farm buildings.

{1} Building recording survey was undertaken in 2014. The buildings, which are contemporary with each other, have a probable early 19th century date of construction. Building 1 retains its original trusses which have been sensitively incorporated into the modern roof. The survival of the matching pairs of carpenters marks on the truss timbers is an interesting feature of this building. Evidence of former internal partitions can be seen on the walls and trusses. The northern end of the building is a modern rebuild having been made good after part-collapse of the structure at this end. The timber posts of the north-west elevation are also modern replacements. Building 2 appears to have been re-roofed in the mid-late 19th century with a machine sawn pine structure carrying welsh slate. Both buildings are open fronted suggesting they functioned as cart sheds and stables. A former manger in Building 1 supports this.
