  • Notas: A programme of building recording was carried out in advance of the proposed conversion for residential use of redundant farm buildings at Breckon Hill, Northumberland. To accompany a written description of the building, photographic recording was undertaken by colour digital photography using a Panasonic DMCFZ1000. In addition, an attempt was made to research the history of the building through locally available maps and records. It is concluded that the complex of buildings known as Breckon Hill Farm probably has its origins in the mid-18th century, with the lower walls of the main block surviving from the original construction phase in the immediate post-enclosure period, between 1755-1769. The farm buildings themselves are the product of several phases of construction, with the c1840 tithe map showing an L-plan which includes the house as well as the north and the main part of the west ranges. Overall, the buildings provide a reasonable example of a mid-19th century planned farmstead, without presenting any features of especial merit. The relatively early North and West Ranges preserve some reasonable detail, but the Loose Box Range is a later, mid-19th century addition and, along with the later 20th century lean-to and detached barn additions, demonstrate little architectural or aesthetic merit.
