Full Description
An historic building survey was undertaken in March 2011 at the former farm, stables and cold stores at Gedney Road, Long Sutton. The earliest buildings date to the mid to late eighteenth century, however, the lack of surviving internal detail, fixtures or fittings made any interpretation of function difficult. The buildings are of vernacular style, using local materials and traditional methods of construction. The most significant feature of the site is the original phase of stables which are possibly associated with the late eighteenth-century building next to the site, The Shrubberies, 57 Gedney Road. Historical research has suggested that the Shrubberies and the land upon which the buildings surveyed are located were once part of an estate and hunting lodge owned by the Bertie family of whom Peregrine Bertie was the second Duke of Ancaster. The main stable entrance, with a huge and impressive archway (now concealed from the outside), is of significant proportions may have been the eighteenth-century hunting lodge stables connected to the lodge (The Shrubberies). Cartographic evidence from the nineteenth century indicates that the complex became a farm. The conversion of the site into a cold store in the 1970s has removed any fixtures or fittings from the buildings. Some further alterations to the buildings were undertaken in the twentieth century. The building is on the edge of the village of Long Sutton but is in Lutton parish. {1}{2}
