EDITORS COMMENTS
Longlands Farmhouse, nestled in the picturesque village of Hennock near Newton Abbot in Devon, England, is a captivating example of medieval architecture that has survived the test of time. This ancient farmhouse, believed to originate from the late 15th century, showcases the rich history and agricultural heritage of England. The house, now a testament to the past, was likely a medieval hall-house, a common architectural design during the late medieval period. Its timber-framed structure, with its intricate woodwork and wattle-and-daub infill, speaks to the craftsmanship and resourcefulness of its builders. The farmhouse underwent significant modifications in the early 17th century, around the year 1600, which can be seen in the more symmetrical and ornate features of the building. The addition of a central chimney stack, the replacement of the thatched roof with clay tiles, and the creation of a formal entranceway all point to a period of modernization and prosperity. Longlands Farmhouse stands as a proud reminder of the region's farming past. The surrounding rolling hills and lush greenery continue to provide a picturesque backdrop for this historic building, which remains a cherished part of the Hennock community. As you gaze upon this image of Longlands Farmhouse, you can almost hear the sounds of daily life from centuries past - the clucking of chickens, the mooing of cows, and the laughter of children at play. This snapshot of history invites us to reflect on the stories and traditions that have shaped the landscape and people of Devon and England as a whole.
