Building record 8608/1/2 - Farm buildings at Puxley Farm

A range of farm buildings probably dating from the late 18th century onwards. Converted to domestic use in 2016

{1} The barn appears to have originally been a free-standing fully stone-built structure, to which smaller structures were added at the north and south, with further ranges to form a C-plan arrangement around a central yard. As part of this work, probably in the mid-late 19th century, the north wall of the barn was rebuilt in brick and existing doorways were either modified with brick jambs, or new larger, door opening were created. Further, the historic buildings share a common roofing scheme comprising machine sawn pine trusses and pine rafters. The three buildings of the northern range were later re-faced internally in brick, most likely in the 20th century. The farm complex was subject to widespread fire damage in the late 20th century, following which the northern range and covered yard were fully cleared and the current grain store constructed.
