SNN111052 - A Level 2 Historic Building Recording and watching brief at Tansor Lodge Farm, Oundle Road, Elmington, Oundle, Northamptonshire

An historic building survey was undertaken by the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) at Tansor Lodge Farm, Oundle Road, Elmington, Oundle, Northamptonshire on the 4th of December 2014. The survey studied a small portion of a courtyard farm building which is part of a larger complex of farm buildings which form Tansor Lodge Farm. Components of the farm complex are Grade II listed and are 18th century in origin. The portion of building subject to the survey is not listed and is likely to be mid-19th century in date and represents a change in farming practices seen across the country around this time. Planning permission has been granted to refurbish part of the courtyard buildings and convert them into holiday flats and a farm office. The report and archive will be deposited under Accession Number NHTL.2014 The reduction of the floor levels in the ground floor of the hayloft/ tack room building were subject to a watching brief on the 8th June 2015, and the excavation of new drainage and a new sewage treatment tank to the west of the hayloft building were subject to a watching brief on 30th January 2017. The archive for the watching brief will be retained by ULAS with event number ENN108593.
