Site Visit A site visit was completed on the 18 August 2025 by Historic Buildings Consultant, Hannah Blackmore to observe and photograph the house and the barn in their context. Alongside the objectives for the recording set out in paragraphs 2.1 and 2.2, a particular attention is paid to evidence of the former use of the buildings. Any evidence relating to the primary or historic use was recorded and interpreted to inform the overall understanding of the buildings. Drawn record The drawn record is based on existing plans provided by the client (see drawings BH24016-BM3-01-GF-DR-A-10110 and BH24016-BM3-01-01-DR-A-10111 for plans; BH24016-BM3-01-ZZ-DR-A-10310 and BH24016-BM3-01-ZZ-DR-A-10311 for elevations, and BH24016-BM3-01-ZZ-DR-A-10313 for sections), which have been annotated to respond to items 2, 4, and 6-8 of the Historic England guidance regarding 'the drawn record'. The drawings include: � A phased site plan at 1:1250 scale relating the buildings to other structures, topographical and landscape features (Fig. 8); � Annotated measured elevations as existing, showing any form of architectural decoration and to aid the understanding of the buildings' design, development or function (Fig. 9 depicts the house, and Fig. 12 depicts the barn); � Plans as existing, with photo location points and annotations indicating the form and location of any structural features and/or detail of historic significance including any evidence for former fixtures and fittings (Fig. 11 depicts the house; Fig. 11 depicts the barn); � Measured sections as existing (Fig. 10). Photographic record A digital photographic record has been compiled. Photography has been undertaken with a Canon EOS 4000D 18mpx TTL digital camera set to .jpeg format in accordance with items 1 to 9 of the Historic England guidance (HE 2016). The photographic record includes general views of the buildings, shots of the external appearance and the overall appearance of principal spaces and functional areas. Specific architectural details that relate to date, alteration, or function have been subject to more detailed photographic recording. Where surviving, external or internal detail (structural or decorative) relevant to the buildings' design, development and use has been photographed, with scale where appropriate. The photographic survey comprises digital images of the buildings and specific features of interest. Images have been saved in .jpeg format. Appropriate levels of Metadata will be maintained and included in the digital archive following the approach set out in the aforementioned guidance. Written record The Level 3/4 written record is analytical in its composition and comprises a more comprehensive account of the buildings which utilises information from the structure itself alongside a full range of other sources of information on the buildings. The written account includes the buildings' location, the dates of the record and the name of the recorder. The written record is intended to supplement and support the other elements of the recording, to provide an external and internal description of the buildings in terms of its architecture, setting, construction, development and use. The written record includes a longer summary statement which summarises the findings of the report. Specifically, the form, function, date and sequence of development. Also included is a full description of the exterior and interior of the buildings, and an analytical account of the buildings' past and present use, and of the use of its parts. This includes the evidence for these interpretations and where relevant can also include analysis of the past and present use, circulation patterns, decorative/liturgical schemes, and an account of fixtures and fittings. The components of the written record are in-line with Items 1-3, 5-8, 10-23 and 24 (where relevant) of the Historic England guidance (HE 2016).
