Farm Buildings Recording Group
Meetings
(these take place throughout the year)
No longer required for
modern agriculture, farm buildings are disappearing so fast that it was
felt imperative to make a start recording the ones that remain. A
small group is visiting local farms with the aim of building up detailed
records that will include many photographs. The records are
stored in the archive and should prove to be a marvellous source of
information in years to come for anyone interested in the agricultural
history of the area. To access them now, permission from the
farmer or landowner must first be gained.
If you wish to
help with this important work, please contact Jennifer Weale 01886 821368 or
