1.0 Introduction
1.1 Allen Archaeological Associates was commissioned by Alston Country Homes Ltd to
undertake a RCHME Level 3 Building Survey of buildings at Corner Farm, located at
the junction of Millfield Road and Peterborough Road, Market Deeping, Lincolnshire.
This work was carried out to satisfy a planning condition issued by South Kesteven
District Council in advance of the conversion of existing buildings on the site for
residential use.
1.2 This methodology conforms to guidance and best practice contained within Policy
Guidance Note 15 (Planning and the Historic Environment), Planning Policy
Guidance Note 16 (Archaeology and Planning) and Analysis and Recording for the
Conservation and Control of Works to Historic Buildings (Association of Local
Government Archaeological Officers). The specification for these works prepared by
Allen Archaeological Associates (Allen 2008) also conforms to the English Heritage
guidelines in Understanding Historic Buildings: A Guide to Good Recording Practice
(English Heritage 2006) and the local guidelines in the Lincolnshire Archaeological
Handbook: A Manual of Archaeological Practice (LCC 1998).
1.3 A copy of the building survey report and the full project archive will be submitted to
the local museum in Lincoln 'The Collection' for long term storage under Museum
Accession Number: 2008.21
2.0 Site Location and Description
2.1 Market Deeping is approximately 11.8km north-north-west of Peterborough and
42.8km south-west of Boston. The site occupies a 0.4 hectare corner plot north-west
of the junction of Millfield Road and the B1524 Peterborough Road. It is centred
uponNGR 513258 310852.
2.2 Four buildings occupy the site arranged around a central farmyard, comprising a
former 17 th century Farmhouse and Granary/Stable that are both Grade II listed
(Listed Building Reference: 194571 and 194572), and a Threshing Barn and Stable
Block.
2.3 The farm is illustrated on the enclosure map of 1815 (Figure 8) that details the
Farmhouse, Barn and Granary as existing structures at this time. On this plan the
Granary appears to have been extended further westwards with an adjoining building,
probably a cart shed, aligned along the southern site boundary.
2.4 The enclosure map also demonstrates that the junction upon which the site is now
located has been subject to a programme of road re-alignment in more recent times,
facilitated by the removal of die adjacent property to the east of Corner Farm. Later
mapping (1952 Ordnance Survey map, not re-produced in this report) of the area has
shown that this work was carried in the latter half of the 20 th century.
2.5 The 1904 Ordnance Survey map (Figure 9) illustrates changes specific to the site,
with the addition of the stable block range along the western site boundary and the
removal of the building that was attached to the granary along the southern site
frontage. This cartographic evidence for the re-development of the site would
possibly correspond with the 20 th century alterations to the fabric of the remaining
buildings.
1

2.6 The site is currently bounded to the east and south by the road junction with a fenced
paddock to the north and garden fencing delineating the western extent of the site.
3.0 Planning background
3.1 Full planning permission was granted for the conversion of existing farm buildings
for residential use (Planning References: S07/1301/56, S07/1499/56, and
S07/LB/6887/56). Permission was granted subject to the implementation of a
RCHME Level 3 survey of the existing buildings prior to the commencement of any
works associated with their re-development.
4.0 Methodology
4.1 The survey was undertaken on the 14 th of February 2008 and conformed to a
specification for these works prepared by Allen Archaeological Associates (Allen
2008) and the English Heritage guidelines in Understanding Historic Buildings: A
Guide to Good Recording Practice (English Heritage 2006).
4.2 The building record incorporates a site plan, measured plans of ground and upper
floors and elevations reproduced at appropriate scales (Figures 2 - 7). Figures are
based upon plans supplied by Alston Country Homes Ltd.
4.3 The cameras used for this survey were a 28-300mm Fujifilm Finepix digital and 36-
400mm Kodak P850 digital. Only the farmhouse had internal electric lighting with
little internal illumination available in the other buildings for some of die internal
shots. All shots of architectural detail incorporated an appropriate metric scale bar
where possible with all shots located upon a scaled base plan of the buildings
(Figures 2 and 3)
4.4 A selection of the photographs are included within this report and a list of all shots
taken is reproduced as an appendix at the end of the report (Appendix: 1). The full
photographic archive will be submitted to the Lincolnshire Archives.
5.0 Results
5.1 Introduction
5.1.1 Corner Farm consists of a cluster of four buildings that occupy a prominent corner
position arranged around a central farmyard. The main farmhouse is aligned with
Peterborough Road and forms part of the eastern site boundary. Adjacent to the
Farmhouse across an entrance accessed from Millfield Road is the Granary/Stable
building that is incorporated into the southern boundary wall. Located in the southwest
corner of the site and forming part of the western boundary is a range of stables
comprised of two distinct but adjoining blocks. The Threshing barn is in the northern
part of the site, and is surrounded by open yard space opposite to a modern Dutch
barn to the north, and an open sided hay store to the west. Brick walling has been
constructed to delineate areas within the central yard that until recently housed a large
open sided steel framed structure.
2

5.2 The Farmhouse (Figures 2-4; Appendix 1 Plates 1 to 8)
5.2.1 This building is constructed with roughly coursed limestone rubble walling with
rusticated ashlar quoins bonded by lime based mortar. It has a gabled roof with stone
capped parapets and moulded stone kneelers, and ceramic pantiles cover the roof
area, capped by half round clay ridge tiles.
5.2.2 At one and a half storeys in height, the building has a full height ground floor with
first floor garret space opened up by utilising a collar rafter roof. The original
common rafters are intact with new timbers added alongside to take the weight of the
roof.
5.2.3 The main west elevation consists of four bays. The ground floor has an off-centre
double barn doorway with timber lintel and frame adjacent to a single opening light
timber framed window set upon a moulded stone sill with ashlar architrave detailing.
5.2.4 To the right is a three light 17 th Century ovolo mullioned window with moulded
surround and cornice and a blocked doorway with ashlar architrave.
5.2.5 To the left is a blocked window with 17 th century cornice that is truncated by a later
single planked door with timber lintel and surround.
5.2.6 On the first floor is a three light centre hung casement window with the remnants of
the original square hung lattice leaded lights in the right panel.
5.2.7 The south elevation has a plank door on the ground floor with a 20 th century glazed
brick window set into the roof gable. Both features have ashlar architrave and key
stone lintels.
5.2.8 The east elevation has plain walling with two small timber framed windows (now
blocked) with re-used timber lintels.
5.2.9 The north elevation appears to have been extensively re-built with modern casement
windows inserted at ground and first floor level. This gable has an internal cinder
block wall inserted, with steel 'catnip' lintels over the modern windows. Two Iron
cross shaped tie plates are located in the upper part of the gable wall above the first
storey window head.
5.2.10 In its present state the building is open plan with a store room at the southern end
supporting an internal mezzanine deck created by the removal of the remaining garret
floor and cross beams. The joists for the deck were of plain squared timber morticed
into a large squared bridgeing beam (cross beam), with one end set into the southern
gable wall.
5.2.11 The location of two cross beams (only the stubs remain) and external positions of
windows and the door would indicate that it was originally a four roomed plan with a
loft extending the full length of the building.
5.2.12 As a result of several phases of alteration, the location of the original chimney stack
and its place within the functional arrangement of space within the building cannot be
determined.

5.3 The Granary/Stable (Figures 2, 3 and 5; Appendix 1: Plates 9 to 17)
5.3.1 This Grade II 17 th century building consists of one and a half storey two bay, single
internal stack construction containing two ground floor rooms with a two roomed
granary above.
5.3.2 The walling was constructed in roughly coursed limestone rubble with ashlar quoins
bonded by a lime-based mortar. It has a gabled roof with an internal stack at the
eastern gable wall.
5.3.3 The western elevation is constructed from limestone up to joist level then re-used soft
faced bricks laid in English bond form the uppermost part of the gable. The roof is
covered by collyweston stone tiles with half round ceramic tiles along the gable.
5.3.4 The soath elevation has a blocked in door and window both with rusticated ashlar
jamb and architrave. The south-western corner of the building forms a contemporary
build with the southern boundary walling.
5.3.5 The east gable elevation has a planked window on the second floor with rusticated
ashlar architrave and a timber frame and lintel. Close to the gable apex is a stone
plaque with raised details (depicting J.S 1773) and a moulded stone cornice.
5.3.6 The north elevation has two ground floor timber plank doors. On the right is a single
door occupying a partly in-filled cart shed/stable door with a timber lintel. To the left
is a single timber framed doorway with the ashlar quoins of the north-east corner of
the building extending to form the eastern door jamb. A stub of later brick walling
abuts the centre of this elevation and extends for approximately 1.5m. The end
forming an entranceway to the yard with an opposing length of wall.
5.3.7 On the first (Granary) floor is a single central planked doorway that would be
accessed by a ladder from outside.
5.3.8 Room 1 was separated from Room 2 by a central timber partition constructed with
timbers set into the walls and with a single central stable door. The jamb of this door
supports the bridgeing beam that carries the morticed joists and plank floor of Room
3 above.
5.3.9 Whilst Room 1 had a very low ceiling, Room 2 has a bridgeing beam set 0.65m
higher, giving a stepped profile to the internal spaces. Room 2 also has timber lintels
for the blocked door and window set into the front wall.
5.3.10 A chimney stack containing an open brick built fire place with a cambered arch is on
the east wall.
5.3.11 Room 3 on the Granary floor occupies the internal roof space accessed via the
doorway in the northern elevation. The roof is constructed using common rafter
collared trusses with clasped purlins located onto a timber wall plate that continues
across the internal face of the western gable. Much of this superstructure uses re-used
timbers, with evidence of repairs and stabilisation of common rafters with new
timber.
5.3.12 Room 4 is accessed through a heavy wooden frame with morticed and pegged joints.
The original hinge crooks and structural iron strapping is still present on the frame.

The internal brick chimney stack occupies the eastern gable wall to the right of the
planked window.
5.4 The Stable Block (Figures 2, 3 and 6; Appendix 1: Plates 18 to 24)
5.4.1 This building consists of two separate blocks of stables forming the western extent of
the farmyard area. It is constructed in roughly coursed limestone bonded by limebased
mortar with a gabled roof of corrugated asbestos sheeting.
5.4.2 The eastern elevation has eight stable doorways equally spaced across the frontage.
In the southern block there are four plank-built lower stable doors, two with six light
glazed upper panels, and two with plank shutters. Each doorway header boasts a flat
arch of limestone soldiers. The northern frontage has four arched doorways
constructed of ashlar blocks with a rusticated architrave and an internal limestone
voussoir. Full height open slatted doors on iron strap hinges are fitted to the external
opening with plank-built stable doors fitted to the interior.
5.4.3 The southern elevation is coursed roughly dressed limestone walling with an owl
hole at the apex of the gabled roof and large ashlar block quoins at the corners.
5.4.4 The western elevation southern block has four small equidistant timber framed and
slatted ventilation apertures, each headed by a course of limestone soldiers forming a
flat arch. The northern block of this range is of plain limestone walling that has a
significant outward bulge.
5.4.5 The northern elevation is constructed the same fabric and build as the south
elevation, with the exception of tumbling at the gables with dressed ashlar blocks.
5.4.6 The southern (and earliest) part of the block is divided internally into two loose boxes
separated by a partition wall constructed in late 19 th century brick. Each has two small
square timber slatted ventilation panels in the rear wall with a wooden lintel of reused
timber. The relict joints in the lintel timbers suggest their previous use in close
studded or muntin and plank timber walling.
5.4.7 A wall plate is incorporated into the stone walling at each gable effectively acting as a
tie beam across the structure. Joist stubs and a wall plate set into the western wall at
the same height as the window lintels, and corresponding with the wallplate set into
the southern gable wall, may suggest a loft space/hay store over the stables.
5.4.8 The roof of the southern block consists of eight collar rafters with clasped purlins
supporting common rafters. The roof is also supported by eight vertical posts set into
the modern concrete floor. Some timber elements of this roof (the cross beams) may
be original, although it is mostly constructed of replacement timbers.
5.4.9 The northern part of the stable block is also divided into two loose boxes with a half
timber partition.
5.4.10 The roof consists of eight principle trusses with dovetailed halved joint between
collar and principle rafter and clasped purlins supporting common rafters. The
southern and northern pair of rafters have additional struts supporting the collars.
5.4.11 Eight timber posts are also set into the concrete floor to support the roof
superstructure.

5.5 The Threshing Barn (Figures 2, 3 and 7; Appendix 1: Plates 25 to 27)
5.5.1 The barn is constricted with a 0.70m foundation of roughly dressed, coursed (Kentish
rag style) limestone rubble followed by dressed and coursed stone walling. The
corners are finished with large ashlar quoins and the gabled roof is covered by
corrugated asbestos sheeting.
5.5.2 The southern elevation has a full height off centre doorway with ashlar jambs, which
has been infilled with modern brickwork. A new entrance has been constructed with
timber doorframe with plank-built door incorporated into the brickwork infill. Eight
square ventilation holes arranged on two levels have been built into the wall fabric.
5.5.3 The western elevation is of the same limestone build, with five ventilation holes and
a timber framed window set into the roof gable.
5.5.4 The northern elevation mirrors that of the south, apart from large sliding plank barn
doors filling two thirds of the original full height doorway. A timber lintel over the
barn doors supports modern brickwork that infills the remainder of the opening.
Seven squared ventilation holes are arranged on two levels on this side of the
building.
5.5.5 The eastern elevation replicates the construction of the western elevation.
5.5.6 The interior of the barn retains no internal features and is open in plan up to the full
roof height, with sections of timber wall plate and joist stubs projecting from the
upper levels of the walls possibly indicating there may have been a floored loft space
as part of the original build.
5.5.7 The roof is constructed using collared rafters with clasped and lapped purlins
supporting common rafters. The rafters are jointed into a timber wall plate along the
top of the walls that supports two large cross beams.
6.0 Summary assessment
6.1 The Farmhouse has clearly undergone successive adaptations in use that have resulted
in significant modifications to the original fabric of the structure. Some of this work
has not used materials that are in keeping with the original fabric and has
consequently succeeded in detracting from the historic character of the building. A
significant example of modification is evidenced by the insertion of modern casement
windows to the northern elevation and internal consolidation with cinder block
walling. The removal of the chimney stack, and most of the internal cross beams,
joists, wall partitions and flooring has also substantially reduced the historic fabric of
the building.
6.2 The external facades, although in need of some remedial works, do however retain
some original detailing, including a fine stone mullioned window.
6.3 The Granary does retain significant architectural elements. Apart from the external
fa9ade, this includes a ground floor arrangement of substantial timbers that delineate
internal spaces whilst providing support for the upper floors. The variations in
building fabric, blocked in doorway and window and the southern boundary wall that
is bonded into the southern elevation of the building may also be considered as
significant elements of the buildings historic fabric.
6

6.4 The Stables appear for the most part structurally sound (apart from some bulging of
the northern part of the western wall) and offer a number of architectural details
including decorative stonework on the doorways and tumbling at the northern gable.
6.5 The Threshing Barn has been modified with the blocking of the original full height
doorways with modern brick to facilitate a change of use. This element of the
structure may be considered as intrusive and detracts from the character of the
building as a whole.
6.6 The buildings included within this survey are in various states of decay. They do
however retain some architectural elements that may be considered as intrinsic to the
historic character of each building. It would undoubtedly enhance the character of the
re-development that where practicable they be retained and incorporated into the
proposed scheme of works.
