Reasons for Designation

The pigsties, including attached wall and gatepier, at Pevington Farm are recommended for listing at Grade II for the following principal reasons:

* As early-C19 purpose-built Kentish ragstone pigsties which have survived largely intact; * Pigsties are a very rare building type in Kent, the only current listed example being part of stabling to a model farm rather than free-standing as here; * As part of a good farm group on a historic site on which a number of buildings, including the farmhouse, are listed already and the contemporary attached wall and gatepier forms part of an enclosed farmyard.

GV II Former pigsties and attached farmyard wall and gatepier. Early-C19. The C20 yard walls to the east are not of special interest. Built of Kentish ragstone rubble and brick with hipped tiled roofs.

PLAN: Range of five pigsties aligned north to south with attached farmyard wall and a gatepier to the south-east.

EXTERIOR: The pigsties are single-storey in Kentish ragstone rubble with red brick dressings with entrances in the east side. Attached to the south-east side is a section of curved Kentish ragstone rubble wall with red brick quoins and stone coping which originally formed part of the wall of an enclosed farmyard. Attached to the yard walls is an early C19 square brick pier in Flemish bond with projecting brick course near the top and pyramidal stone cap, one of the gate piers providing access to the enclosed farmyard.

HISTORY: Pevington Farm was an ancient manor, granted to Bishop Odo of Bayeux after the Norman Conquest and appear in the Domesday Book. Since 1612 it formed part of the Dering estate. These pigsties, together with most farm buildings at Pevington Farm, are shown on the 1871 Ordnance Survey map.
