Description
Prior to the repair, extension and conversion to residential use a historic building survey was carried out on the barn and brewhouse. The construction of the barn is indicative of the later C16 and can be attributed to the works carried out by Lord Darcy. Its size suggest it was used for collecting tithes and much of the building survives intact. The brewhouse is of three main phases of which the earliest phase dates to the later C16. The upper part was rebuilt in the late C17 or C18 in brick and a lean-to was added in the C19 <1>
In July 2007, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording during groundworks associated with the repair, conversion and extension of the brewhouse and the repair and conversion of the tithe barn. <2>
