Full Description
PRN 63851
A programme of historic building recording was undertaken on barns at Boughton House Farm, Asgarby. The barns are associated with and contemporary with Boughton House (PRN 64453), which is a Grade II Listed Building. The recording indicated five phases of construction and alteration. Formerly having functioned as a threshing barn, the main barn is a single phase structrure, likely to date shortly after 1800, with some later repairs. Whilst several features typical of threshing barns in the region were identified, pitching holes and a partially-blocked doorway may indicate a dual function as a chaff house. In 1846, this barn formed part of a sub-rectangular range of buildings surrounding a central yard. These buildings are likely to have included stables, other animal accomodation and agricultural buildings. Between 1846 and 1890, a cartshed was added to the corner of the range, although the form of the farmstead remained virtually unchanged into the 20th century. The northern half of the farmyard was covered in the first half of the 20th century, although much of this covering is now demolished. After 1956, the layout of the farmstead was altered, with the construction of a large concrete-framed vehicle shed and the demolition of several original buildings.{1}{2}
