BURRINGTON GOLLAND LANE SS 61 NE

6/37 Golland Farmhouse - - II

Farmhouse. Probably mid to late C16, with C17 alterations. Rendered stone rubble and cob. Thatch roof with gable ends. Tall front lateral unrendered stone rubble hall stack with offsets, heightened in brick. Brick stack set across the angle of the rear left (lower) end corner. 3-room and cross-passage plan. The development of the house suggests it was built at a transitional period, the very light smoke-blackening to the hall roof pointing to a very short period elapsing before the hall was ceiled over. Solid wall partitions rise to the apex of the roof at the lower (left) end of the cross-passage and between the hall and inner room. External rendering may conceal straight joints at these divisions, and the inaccessibility of the lower end roofspace also prevents a complete assessment; however, the internal evidence suggests that both lower and inner room ends are contemporary with the hall and were both ceiled from the outset. The inner room end is known to have retained its own separate staircase until the twentieth century. The original function of the 2 end rooms is unclear, but the superior ceiling beam to the lower end suggests it may have always served as a parlour, with a stack introduced probably in the C19. The inner room end therefore appears to have served as the service end, its upper storey having been used for labourers accommodation into the early twentieth century. The hall, divided from the passage by a plank and muntin screen, has a single large cross ceiling beam sited towards the lower end; 2 mortises near the rear wall on its upper face indicate the former existence of a steep stair or ladder, suggesting this may have provided access to a jettied lower end before the hall was ceiled. However, the jetty beam is stopped at its front end and rests on the timber lintel of the hall stack above the lower end jamb, which would suggest that the hall stack was not a later insertion. The light smoke-blackening could thus be the result of an open hall which from the outset was heated not by an open hearth but an integral lateral stack. The hall joists appear to have been keyed from the outset to take a lath end plaster ceiling, suggesting a possible C17 rather than late C16 date for the final ceiling over of the hall. Apparently in the C19, a staircase was inserted in, and filling the cross-passage, which involved the removal of the rear part of the screen and its resiting and reuse as a doorway across the foot of the stairs. 2 storeys. 4-window range. Principally early C20 fenestration. 4-paned sashes at left end and lighting hall, 2-light casements 2 panes per light at right end. C20 door. Dairy outshut to rear of hall and inner room with corrugated asbestos roof. Interior: Rough unchamfered axial ceiling beam to inner room. Axial ceiling beam to lower end has wide chamfer terminating in large hollow step stops. Plank and muntin screen between cross-passage and hall, the headbeam and sill partially concealed, but muntins appear to be stopped at the base of the chamfers on the passage side. The rear part of the screen handrail and one of the planks have been resited at the foot of the cross-passage stairs, the rear part now set back slightly has been replaced with an identical screen. Chamfered cross ceiling beam towards lower end of hall with mortices for ladder or steep stairs close to the rear wall, and stopped on the hall side at the front end with a diagonally cut stop. Chamfered fireplace lintel with run out stops. Bread oven to rear wall, the oven projection demolished. Outline of probable creamery recess to upper end wall of hall. No roof trusses over lower or inner room end, the purlins being carried entirely by the solid wall partitions. Purlins, rafters and battens to inner room end appear to be contemporary with the hall roof structure. Single raised cruck truss to hall section, sited directly over the hall ceiling beam, with cambered mortised and tenoned collar and 2 tiers of trenched purlins. The smoke-blackening is virtually undiscernible on the cross-passage side; on the hall side it has affected mainly the lower parts of the rafters, battens and thatch. Golland Farmhouse retains features of considerable interest which together suggest a transitional plan form with both ends ceiled from the outset and the hall originally open to the roof but apparently heated by an integral lateral stack.
