During the renovation of the barns into a house (domestic dwelling) the writings on the walls of the building were catalogued and photographed by a group of Archaeologists headed up by Dr Gillian Scott, who were able to list in chronological order dating from 1880's the writings on the lime washed walls, mainly in the Granary upstairs. We decided to leave the writings and drawings intact and they are now safely protected behind stud walls. Before encasing the graffiti, much of it which was First and Second World War related, we all wrote our names on the walls, everyone from the builders to our our children, for future historic investigation.
