Building record 755/0/41 - Home Farm, Whittlebury

A historic farmstead that has existed since at least the mid-late 19th century.

{1} In 2024, Cotswold Archaeology was commissioned to undertake historic building recording of buildings at Home Farm. Home Farm is a historic farmstead that has existed since at least the mid-late 19th century, when it was known as Church Farm (likely due to its proximity to the Church of St Mary). Home Farm was probably rebuilt in the 19th century to have regular courtyard plans, which was common for farms in this area. It was a large farmstead with a farmhouse and two principal farm building ranges, external animal pens, and at least three enclosed yards. The barn is constructed of local Oolitic limestone, while other buildings feature red brick and coursed limestone rubble. Significant alterations occurred during the 20th century, including the demolition of several buildings and the construction of new structures like Dutch barns. The buildings were converted for commercial use, with modern materials and fixtures replacing many original features.
