Newport Boy BS: All you 'catters that are in old houses (14) RE: BS: All you 'catters that are in old houses 06 Dec 12


Our converted stone barn was built in 1840 and used some dressed stone from Thornbury castle (which was only partly-restored then) which the mason probably worked about 1530.

The barn belonged to our former house (part of the castle estate until 1896). The house dates from about 1680 (one of the original oak windows is still in place) and was extended and upgraded in about 1800, 1850 and 1895 (and I did it again in the 1980s).

My workshop is an adjacent stone barn originally constructed about 1750, probably with a thatched roof.
