Introduction
This digital archive contains images from a building recording survey, undertaken by Worcestershire Archaeology between 8th and 15th January 2016, at Haselor Farm, Haselor Lane, Charlton, Worcestershire.
Building recording was required to meet a planning condition relating to the redevelopment of Haselor Farm, Haselor Lane, Charlton, Worcestershire.
The planning condition specified that the buildings should be recorded and to English Heritage specified standards. This required photographing the exterior and interior of the building and annotating existing survey drawings.
The agricultural buildings at Haselor Farm represent a change that started within the second half of the 18th century and often coincided with widespread inclosure of earlier field systems. This change came about as part of a desire to improve efficiency and is often seen through the establishment of relatively large scale planned farmyards and buildings, as here.
The earliest phase of the buildings, dating to around the middle of the 19th century, represented both arable and pastoral economy, the latter being specifically for the raising of cows. These were seen by the presence of a threshing barn and shelter sheds. This phase also contained a small amount of stabling, probably for both agricultural and domestic use. The capacity for rearing cows was increased later within the 19th century, as seen by further shelters sheds. Both of these phases pre-dated the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map.
The 20th century saw a significant increase in the capacity for stabling as well as a number of small changes to the existing structures. The only significant changes were the removal of boundary walls that previously enclosed the yards and the destruction of part of the earlier northern range.
