TITTLESHALL Cattle Sheds at Godwick Farm

GV II

Cattle sheds. 1883, with minor C20 alterations. Built for Thomas Coke, 2nd Earl of Leicester. Shuttered mass concrete, beneath a pantile roof covering. PLAN: E-shaped complex, facing south, with open shelter sheds, loose boxes, and feed storage and preparation areas enclosing east and west yards. Roofs to south ends of ranges are hipped. SOUTH ELEVATION with open shelter sheds to west and north of western yard under roof supported by thin iron columns, braced to iron king-post roof trusses with raking struts. Centre range comprised of 2 loose boxes of different sizes, that to the south the larger, both entered through west-facing split doors set within heavy pegged door frames. Either side of southern door, 8-pane centre hinged iron casement windows. Central part of northern section blocked off,with entry into rear shelter shed on west side, possibly a feed mixing room. East range with enclosed shed to south, possibly a feed store or implement shed, with central door in south wall. Open sheds to northern part and to north rear wall of eastern yard, with iron columns and roof detailing matching that of the eastern sheds. HISTORY: this is the only complete example of a farm complex in Norfolk constructed of shuttered concrete in the early stage of its usage: a few cottages on the Holkham estate were built of shuttered concrete in the 1870s. Very few examples are known nationally, and the Godwick complex, which formed part of the building programme of an innovative estate, is a significant survival.
