Full Description
A building survey was undertaken in March 2012, of the agricultural buildings at Searby Top Farm, Seraby Wold Lane. The north-eastern section of the central building functioned as a barn/granary, and was constructed in about 1825 to 1850. The rest of the central building functioned as a shelter shed, and was probably constructed soon after the barn. In about 1850 another shelter shed and probably the cartshed, attached to the west of the central building, were built. The original stables were also built at this time, but these were demolished around 1923 to 1956. The new stables, which form the southern building, were constructed in 1907 to 1923, though these were converted into an office at a much later date. The dutch barn, forming the north-eastern building, was added betwen 1923 and 1956. {1}{2}
