Abstract/Summary

Report on a historic building survey undertaken to preserve by record prior to the proposed conversion of agricultural outbuildings to residential use and demolition of a dwelling at Highfield (formerly Glebe) Farm, North Kelsey. 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. Another outbuilding, not included in the survey, survives to the west of the complex and appears to be a washroom or boilerhouse. It still has an in-situ boiler and washing copper. A building to the north west of the complex, present on earlier OS Maps but now demolished, was likely the farmhouse.
