SNN111567 - Historic building recording at Buttermilk Hall Farm, Blisworth, Northamptonshire, April 2018

MOLA (Museum of London Archaeology) was commissioned by Neil Tanner of Neil Tanner Associates on behalf of their client Seima Construction Ltd to undertake a programme of historic building recording at Buttermilk Hall Farm, Blisworth, Northamptonshire, prior to the conversion of a barn and stables to a residential dwelling. The origin of the farm lies in the mid 18th century; by the early 19th century, maps show an L-shaped plan comprising the threshing barn, stables and a cowshed connecting the barns and farm house. The Ordnance Survey Map of 1885 depict the development of the farm into an F-shaped plan with the addition of an open animal shelter. Over the next century only small alterations had been made, which included the addition of a pigsty, the enclosing of the open animal shelter, renewal of the roofs and replacement of the doors and windows.
