York Historic Environment Record

The site of a historic farmstead/ tannery, representing a good survival of associated 19th-century buildings which are characterful remnants of a historic village farm (including a charming double-fronted cottage/barn in gardens). Largely intact evidential significance of an undeveloped farmstead plot. Subsequent histories as tannery, reversion to farming use, and finally the remodelling of the site in c.1970 with house by York-architect Ronald Sims give it additional layers of architectural, historical, community and townscape significance. (See The Buildings of England. Yorkshire: The North Riding (2023, p.739). While the tannery was demolished in 2023, the cottage/barn remains, providing now even-rarer evidential significance of the historic farmstead. Nominated for inclusion on the Local List of Heritage Assets.
