A programme of historic building recording was carried out by Colchester Archaeological Trust at Manor House Farm, Brentwood Road, Bulphan, Upminster, Essex in March 2016.
The two surveyed buildings (originally stabling and an animal shelter) date to the mid-late 19th century and are all that remain from a significant farm complex constructed in the
‘High Farming’ period of British agriculture. <1>
The buildings were demolished at sometime between March 2016 and January 2018.
January 2018. Trial trenching.
Archaeological excavations at Manor House Farm uncovered some remains of the cow sheds attached to the former Wick House indicated in OS mapping of the area compiled during the 1890s. No other remains of archaeological significance were found. <2>
