Upper Holling Farm, Hollins Lane, Martley, Worcestershire. Historic Building Recording (OASIS ID: 110archa1-379197)

This archive holds details of a programme of historic building recording (level 3) at Upper Holling Farm, Hollins Lane, Martley, Worcestershire, WR6 6PU in advance of the conversion of part of the existing range of cow-house, originally a stable and loose-box, to form a dwelling. The north-east range last functioned as a cow-house, having been reordered in the early C20 to include, in addition to the original cow-house, the former loose-box and stable. In the haylofts over, there are individual throwing doors and a standard doorway in the north-west gable and the transverse walls. There are grids of vents in the other gable and over the fold-yard side of the loose-box. On the ground-floor new openings were formed, with lintels, in the transverse walls, passages along the front and rear walls and individual stalls. The rear passage retained the original extant feeding-passage partition in the old cow-house. Little of the original furniture survived early C20 work but there is enough to indicate original functions. In addition to the original cow-house partition there is a short surviving length of beam above which suggests the position of the manger front. In the former loose-box the socketed beam for the hayrack survives with short additional timbers supporting the new upper next to the wall, the door to the foldyard was blocked and fenestrated. In the stable a tack-hook survives in situ out of an original group of four. The positions of original doorways indicate a walkway along the south-west. The lintel over the foldyard door is a reused wall-plate with birds mouths and its scantling suggests a C17 date. The timberwork throughout is well made and all the principal-joists have chamfers with scroll-stops, not out of place in a C17 domestic context but these are not reused timbers. A ridge-board sits above the traditionally constructed interrupted tie-beam frames which are shorter over the original cow-house, due to the stepping of floor levels

本档案收录了英国伍斯特郡（Worcestershire）马利镇（Martley）霍林斯巷（Hollins Lane）上霍林农场（Upper Holling Farm，邮编WR6 6PU）的三级历史建筑测绘（historic building recording, level 3）项目详情，该项目实施于现有牛舍（cow-house）建筑群部分区域改造为住宅之前——该牛舍建筑群最初由马厩（stable）与散栏畜舍（loose-box）组合而成。该建筑群的东北翼曾作为牛舍使用，于20世纪早期进行改扩建，除保留原有牛舍外，还纳入了原散栏畜舍与马厩。在上方的干草阁楼（haylofts）中，西北侧山墙与横向墙体上设有独立的投掷门（throwing doors）与标准门洞；另一侧山墙以及散栏畜舍朝向围场（fold-yard）的一侧上方，设有通风格栅。首层的横向墙体、前后墙体通道以及独立畜栏（stalls）均增设了带过梁（lintels）的新开口；后方通道保留了旧牛舍中原有的现存饲喂通道隔板（feeding-passage partition）。20世纪早期的改扩建工程中，原有建筑细部构件留存无多，但仍有足够遗存可佐证其原始功能。除原有牛舍隔板外，还留存有一段短梁，其上方位置可推断为食槽前沿（manger front）的所在处。在原散栏畜舍内，用于安装干草架（hayrack）的带榫眼梁得以留存，辅以短辅木支撑靠墙的新增上层结构；原围场通道门已被封堵并增设了窗洞。原马厩内原本一组共四件的马具挂钩（tack-hook）中，仍有一件原位留存。原有门洞的位置表明，建筑西南侧曾设有通行步道。围场门上方的过梁为一块带有燕尾榫槽的复用墙承板（wall-plate），其构件尺寸可推断其年代为17世纪。整体木结构做工精良，所有主搁栅（principal-joists）均带有带涡形止挡的斜边倒角（chamfers with scroll-stops）；这类工艺在17世纪的民用建筑中并不违和，但这些木料并非回收复用的旧料。在传统建造的间断系梁构架（interrupted tie-beam frames）上方设有脊板（ridge-board），由于地面标高存在阶梯式错落，原有牛舍上方的该构架长度更短。
