Source/Archive record SYO1975 - Manor Farm Dunnington

Title Manor Farm Dunnington
Author/Originator
Date/Year 2017

Abstract/Summary

A program of archaeological building recording Level 2, at Manor Farm, Elvington Road, Dunnington, North Yorkshire was undertaken prior to the proposed conversion of a cluster of six farming related buildings. The buildings had most recently been used as a piggery and the survey of the buildings revealed:  The East Barn is the earliest of all the 6 structures that make the present complex. This barn is likely to be 18th century in date. The barn originally had an upper floor.  The overall design of the complex is of interest due to the inclusion of two grand Pigeon Cotes positioned either end of the main structure facing the street frontage.  The South Cow House has to its southern external elevation a unique curved wall. This architectural statement only occurs on this elevation. The location of this curve may have been deliberate to enable more effective driving of livestock into the courtyard.
