TL 61 SE and 60 NE CHIGNAL CHIGNAL ST JAMES Range of Farm buildings to north of Stevens 4 and 8/898 Farmhouse II GV 2. Model farm. 1852, by Beadle, Son and Chancellor for James Crush. Flemish bond brown brick with red brick dressings; hipped slate roofs. Plan of 3 covered yards, facing south, flanked by barn range to north and by 2-storey ranges to east and west which comprise granary/hayloft over stable range to west and root house, cowhouse and tool box to east; 1-storey hackney stable, harness room and coach house range projects southwards from west range; 1-storey piggery and horse yard range projects westwards from north end of stable range. Covered yard divided into 9 x 3 bays by cast iron columns supporting iron King-post trusses; flanking east and west ranges have flat brick arches over stable doors with louvred overlights and segmental brick arches over centre-hung cast-iron casements with glazing bars; open fronted upper floor with brick piers to roof. Three full-height double-entries from yard to barn, which has 3 sets of sliding doors, plank loft doors and ventilation holes to rear (north) elevation. East and west elevations of flanking ranges have pilasters to bay division, large semi-circular arched entry to west and similar cast-iron windows and loft doors to east. Similar pilasters to north elevation of piggery and horse yard range. One-storey east elevation of hackney stable and coach house range has 4 semi- circular arched lancet windows, flat brick arch over plank door to stable and plank sliding doors to coach house. Interiors noted as having stone-flag floors and King-post trusses. Included as a very early example of an advanced mid C19 farm complex using covered yards, increasingly advocated in the later 1850s as a more efficient method of conserving farmyard manure than open yards and endorsed by scientific experiments.
