Full Description

2014 Eavesdropper Newsletter: The farm and malting was owned in 1825 by Robert Simpson. Before then it was called Lower Home Farm, so possibly it was just a farm beforehand. 1837 Tithe Map shows a building that looks like a malting which could include the kiln. The farm stopped bing a commercial malting about 1870. Building remains include a timber-framed garage/workshop which has two bays with evidence for a third which looks like the original malting. Attached to this is an opensided structure, some plinth wall and rotten sole-plate still remain. At a right angle to this was a barn, the threshing floor exists, and part of its wall was built into the malt kiln-stocking chamber and coke store. The last building in this range was the malt kiln, runious in 2013, pretty well destroyed in 2014. It was a square brick building with boarded timber gables, eventhough the ruins have large garage doors filling one side. The wall was originally brickwork (S1).
