Here is an email we received from Dave Barlow.
Very informative piece and great shot of the farmhouse !
"Hi Hydonians,
Decent picture attached of
Apethorn Farmhouse taken in the early 80's by Karl Barlow. I don't know
when and don't know why but some time after this the roof tiles
disappeared and of course as many of you are aware the roof is now
covered in plastic sheeting to protect this 15th Century cruck framed
farmhouse.
Did a bit of research regarding the
buildings current situation and got these interesting facts off site
'English Heritage at risk register 2012-North West'
DESIGNATION
Listed Building Grade II* ( Grade I and Grade II* are particularly
important buildings of outstanding interest, together they amount to 8%
of all Listed Buildings. The remaining 92% are off special interest
and are listed Grade II--Pole Bank Hall is one of these by the way)
CONDITION Poor (conditions in Register range are Very bad--Poor--Fair--Good)
OCCUPANCY Vacant
PRIORITY D (slow decay,solution agreed but not yet implemented)
OWNER
TYPE Private-- Planning and Listed Building consents granted for
residential conversion, but difficulties relating to ownership have not
been resolved and the scheme has not been implemented.
Lets hope things are looking up for this rare and important building "
Thumbnail for larger view !
I do hope this important building is saved !
Many thanks to Dave and Karl ! :)
