The end of Apethorn Farm is it abutts on to Apethorn Lane.
Originally a cruck-framed longhouse from the 15th century, it was encased in rubble in the 17th century and later with brick.
The scene of a murder in 1831, it was divided into cottages in 1928 but in 1993 a fire reduced to it to just the original cruck frame.
There is a pre-1920s photo on
Old Hyde and also a photograph from
May 2000.

Very nice picture, I like the old building, like some old building in any painting. Lovely.
Another lovely old stone building! I really love these.
This is one of those photographs that reminds me how utterly beautiful Britain is. A gem. Fascinating history too.
It seems to have had an interesting history - but what is cruck-framed?
My father was born in 1912, and at some time as a child he lived here gerald, maybe it was in the 1920s. I think at the time my grandma or granddad worked at Gibralter Mill by the river Tame. I have explored inside the farm as a child and the older barn across the road. There's certainly some history around Apethorn Lane.
I enjoyed looking at this old building..reminded me of the many that I saw while touring Europe this past summer! If those bricks could talk!I am sensitive to the energies when I am beside historical structures. It is as though they beckon me to photograph!
What an interesting building and post! This is a super photo with great lighting and composition.
An authentic farm with character.
There are some identical in France.
Hope they remain still for a long time. They're testimonies of our past.
Thanks for your comment, it's always a pleasure to meet new bloggers.
Gorgeous shot! The stone houses are just beautiful and, as Virginia says, the light is awesome too!
Wonderful bit of history.
A proper old farm building. I like the sunlight on the bricks.
This is beautiful old house.
Great photo and description!
Thanks for posting!
