Interesting fact:
The arched barn that houses Swallows Swoop and Rats Retreat formed part of the early 19th century farm building complex on the site. This farm complex is important because it is a good example of a planned “model” farm, thought to be from the turn of the 19th Century.
The form of the Arch Barn is of particular interest because it is a rare surviving example of an arcaded cart house, with granary over.
This form is specifically mentioned in relevant literature as being an innovative building type associated with the Grafton Estate. The Duke of Grafton was prominent in the agricultural improvement movement and examples of Grafton estate farmsteads therefore may be of national importance.
