SNN111003 - An Archaeological Standing Building Survey of the Threshing Barn, Lower Farmyard, Thenford, Northamptonshire

This document is an archaeological standing building survey of the threshing barn at Lower Farmyard, Thenford, Northamptonshire (SP 51949 41688), commissioned from Archaeological Building Recording Services (ABRS) by Thenhurst Agricultural Ltd in advance of the proposed conversion of the barn to residential use. The barn is mid 19th century in date, built as threshing barn with a later extension to the west, and part of Home Farm. The barn is a fine example of a regional farm building dating from the early to mid 19th century and historical use is well preserved with large threshing doors in the easternmost bay and un-equal cart doors in the westernmost bay, the westernmost bay also houses a line shaft indicating mechanical processing was undertaken in this bay. The archive will be retained by ABRS under the temporary site code 2015-BBTN until deposition with Northamptonshire County Council can be arranged. Upon disposition the archive will be incorporated with previous recording work carried out at Lower Farmyard, ABRS project 2014-LFTN.
