Description

Farm with industrial interest. A plan of Throckley Manor dated 1805 shows 'Fell Butts Close' on the site of North Farm. By the enclosure award of 1830 the farm is reverse C shaped. In 2008 a building recording was undertaken by ARS Ltd.prior to renovation and conversion of the buildings into cottages. The farm had three phases of construction- 1805, 1849 and 1888. The barn structures were a mix of construction dates. The 19th century barns are of rough and smooth sandstone blocks in a greyish mortar with sandstone ashlar blocks.
