Listed Building record MDR10698 - The Barns, Jawbone Lane, Melbourne
Type and Period (5)
Protected Status/Designation
Full Description
The Barns, Jawbone Lane, Melbourne, an early 19th complex.
'Kings Newton House was built in the first half of the 17th century, and substantially enlarged and modernised in the early 19th century. Across the yard from the kitchen was the dairy, with 18th century cheese-making apparatus, so at that time a farmyard with cowsheds for milking is to be expected, but all that is left of the early farmyard seems to be one stone wall of the barn, with blocked vents, which marks the property boundary at the north-east end. The remaining outbuildings run south and east of the house, and are built onto the stone wall that bounds Jawbone Lane. Running north to south, they consisted of a coach house, pigsties, stable and grain barn, and sheds. Joseph Cantrell, who owned the property from 1794 to 1836, almost certainly enlarged and modernised the house and then pulled down the old farm buildings and built the stable yard. A new coachhouse was built outside the stable yard in the mid 19th century.' (1)
