Full Description
The complex of farm buildings at Austendike Hall were the subject of detailed building recording, conducted in January 2015, prior to their proposed conversion to housing. Fragmentary remains of a former structure were recorded in this location, which matched depictions of a building on the early Ordnance Survey maps. This structure was thought to date to the second half of the 19th century, when the farm complex was enlarged as part of the 'High Farming' movement. The structure appears to have been single-storey, constructed of brick laid in Garden Wall bond, and mostly open on the northern side, suggesting its use as a cart shed. A lamp niche could be seen in the interior face of the western wall. A blocked opening at the base of the western wall would suggest that part of the structure was used as a pig sty or hen house. {1}{2}
