Marston House Farm, Marston Mongomery, Derbyshire: Building Survey (OASIS ID: cfaarcha1-345763)

CFA Archaeology ltd has been commissioned on behalf of Lanpro Services and their clients Marston Fields Limited, to survey what remains of two 19th-century outbuildings at Marston House Farm Marston Montgomery, Derbyshire. The results of the survey would inform possible further work to shed light on buildings which appear on a tithe map from 1838. Unfortunately, one of the outbuildings had been demolished (building b) as part of the present development. The other outbuilding, in its final phase of use, was a cowhouse (building a). The northern end of the cowhouse is constructed from coursed stone and appears to be a late 18th or early 19th-century construction; however, no datable architectural features were recorded to confirm this. The southern end of the cow house is constructed from brick and it appears that during the latter part of the 19th century the larger building seen on the tithe map was in part demolished and rebuilt in brick forming the current structure. As part of the same redevelopment of the site, a stable was also constructed to the south of the cow house in the late 19th century and as a result has probably removed all traces of the larger building seen on the tithe map.
