Building record 3697/3/2 - Farmbuildings at Bay House Farm, Main Street

Range of 19th and 20th century farm buildings. The stable block and barn pre-date the farmhouse and were probably constructed in the mid-19th century from coursed limestone rubble. The shelter shed was constructed against the barn.

{2} A level 2 building recording survey was undertaken prior to the conversion and restoration of the farmhouse and farm buildings. The stable block and barn are constructed from coursed limestone rubble and were probably built in the mid-19th century (though the stable was slightly later), predating the farmhouse. There was a possible granary or feed loft above the stable. The garage/cart shed was constructed from brick and linked the farmhouse and stable and the shelter shed was an ephemeral building built against the south wall of the barn; these two buildings were demolished as part of the programme of restoration.
