Monument record 0707900000 - Common Leys Farm, Waddesdon

Remains of a late 18th century farmstead, built following enclosure probably in about 1766, with a loose courtyard plan. Tenancy records of 1934 list two cottages, an open hovel, a brick stable, two further hovels and an implement hovel used as a poultry house. In 1938 a water tank room, two calving boxes and a loose box are also mentioned. The two cottages were demolished in about 1957. The only buildings surviving in 2010 were an open-fronted brick and weatherboard shed of 8 bays with a corrugated iron roof; a brick stable of 3 bays with a tile roof, which appears to have been partly rebuilt in the 19th century; and an open-fronted timber-framed barn or cartshed of 3 bays with stone plinth, weatherboard walls and and tile roof, which appears to have been reduced in size. Building platforms show the position of former farm buildings. See report for detail (B1).
