A programme of historic building recording was undertaken on farm buildings prior to redevelopment at Meads Farm, Kirton Drove. The buildings form an L-shaped arrangement on the northeast side of the farmyard. Several phases of development were noted. The earliest phase of the building was the main stable block which was probably constructed in the late 19th century. This was a range of four rooms, comprising two stables with a loose box or feed room at one end and a possible tack room or gig house at the other. Both stables retained intact mangers and also traces of possible feed racks. Also erected in the late 19th century, the second phase of construction was provided by a shelter or cart shed which butted against the rear of the stables. The shed had originally been open on the south side, but was blocked in with walling and doors to create a store-room/workshop, probably no later than the mid 20th century. Beams acting as lintels over these doors may have been reused. The third phase of construction, most likely dating from the mid-20th century, was represented by a large timber lean-to that probably acted as a stock shelter.{1}{2} | Subjects: | Building | Temporal: | 1870 - 1950 | Source: | Lincolnshire County Council | Identifier: | http://www.lincstothepast.com/Records/Re... | Go to resource |
