Full Description
A complex of outbuildings comprising three ranges of buildings in C-shape plan form, around a crewyard open to the south. Historically associated with Whaplode House, a Grade II Listed farmhouse to the west (MLI94595), the complex is now part of Crown Farm. The outbuildings are all single storey brick constructions, under pitched gabled roofs. The North Range pre-dates the other ranges, and likely dates to the mid-19th century or earlier. Most of the doors and windows appear to be contemporary with the construction of the East and West Ranges in the 1890s, and point to a change in use around this time. Internally, the North Range contains a large open cattle shed with a feeding passage, and a calf pen at the eastern end with timber feeding trough and hay rack. The East Range comprises another 4 bay cattle shed. A date stone on the south gable end was inscribed 'VR 18--', dating the range to 1887-1899, as it appears on the 1st Edition Ordnance Survey map of Whaplode. Formerly open to the crewyard, the west elevation is enclosed with horizontal shiplap above a concrete dwarf wall. Internally, it is sub-divided into three one-bay cattle loose boxes. The West Range comprises a small room of unknown use, with three pig sties to the south. As with the East Range, the sties were originally open to the crewyard, but the east elevation has since been bricked up.
