Description
Tannington Lodge occupies an exceptionally well-preserved moated site in open countryside approximately 1 km east of the parish church. The property was known as Moat Farm at the beginning of the 19th century but may be equated with the medieval manor of Osberns and appears to lie within a much larger rectangular enclosure of a type associated with high-status settlement. The present farmhouse is a grade II-listed building dated in the Schedule to the 17th century but possibly older. The timber-framed and weatherboarded farm buildings form a picturesque group which complements the medieval landscape but are not of special historic interest in themselves. They include a mid-19th century threshing barn of five bays with an 18th century porch that belonged to its predecessor and a stable that probably remains in situ from the 17th century but was largely rebuilt in the mid-19th century. A shelter-shed of brick and timber was added to the site in the late-19th century and two open sheds adjoining the stable are additions or reconstructions of the mid-20th century. The barn retains part of a staggered butt-purlin roof that was designed for its present pantiles but the steeply pitched roof of the stable, which retains evidence of red-ochre pigment beneath the late-19th century tar of its weatherboarding, was initially thatched. Both structures were heavily altered in the 20th century and the hay loft of the stable had largely collapsed by the time of inspection.
