SNN109592 - An Archaeological Standing Building Survey: Heathencote Farm, Heathencote, Northamptonshire

This document is an archaeological standing building survey of outbuildings formerly part of Heathencote Farm, Heathencote, Northamptonshire, in advance of the proposed conversion of the buildings for use as holiday lets. Heathencote Farmhouse dates from the early 18th century, the outbuildings appear to be largely early to mid 19th century in date, built in local stone with red brick detailing and appear to be largely single phase. The large threshing barn has been extended at some point in brick. The cartshed to the west contains a number of interesting features, most notably an Apotropaic Mark of overlapping incised circles forming a “daisy wheel” and an attractive Queen Post truss roof. After a period of neglect and dereliction, modern maintenance and upkeep is likely to have removed some of the historic and architecturally interesting features from the buildings, however, sufficient remains to establish the original layout, form and functions of the buildings.
