Full Description

A historic buildings survey was undertaken in 2021 to preserve by record the complex of agricultural outbuildings at Highfield (Glebe) Farm, North Kelsey, prior to the proposed conversion to residential use and demolition of a dwelling. The surveyed buildings comprise a U-shaped complex of agricultural outbuildings surrounding a crewyard, open to the west. The earliest surviving buildings in the complex are the west range consisting of a cart shed and stable, and the centre of the south range, likely formerly a cattle shed and dairy but converted to residential accommodation in the early 20th century. The stable still has an original wooden hayrack against the east wall. The north range, comprising a four bay shelter shed with three bays open to the south and a brick built feed rough at the west end, is a later addition but predates the 1887 OS Map. The surveyed buildings are all brick construction with pitched pantile roofs. {1}{2}
