Information for record number MWA12959:
Badger's Farm, Tysoe, Warwickshire

Summary The building dates to at least 1798, shown on the inclosure map of that date and is likely to be the same as the farmhouse to which is attached (late 17th century) as the stone coursing carries on from one building to another. It is likely that it has always been an agricultural building. No evidence for any earlier building was recorded when trenches were excavated within the building and outside it. The ground appears undisturbed in these areas, above the natural clay.

Source Number  

1Badger's Farm house is a Grade 2 Listed Building dating to the later 17th century. The barn and the farmhouse run along the top of the plot and appear to be joined to the building to the west and both are shown on the first edition Ordanace Survey map of 1886. The name 'Badger Farm' may be related to the Farmer names John Badger who Trade Directories and census records of the mid and later 19th century record in Lower Tysoe. The barn itself is a single story with two bays with a slit window locted in the south and north wall, one was blocked with a number of worn limestone cobbles in it suggesting the floor of the building was originally all cobbled.

Description  
designation Listed Building Buildings and structures, such as bridges, that are of architectural or historical importance are placed on a statutory list. These buildings are protected by planning and conservation acts that ensure that their special features of interest are considered before any alterations are made to them.

Grade II* are particularly important buildings of more than special interest. Those listed as Grade II are those buildings that are regarded of special interest.

period Medieval 1066 AD to 1539 AD (the 11th century AD to the 16th century AD)

The medieval period comes after the Saxon period and before the post medieval period.

The Medieval period begins in 1066 AD.
This was the year that the Normans, led by William the Conqueror (1066 – 1087), invaded England and defeated Harold Godwinson at the Battle of Hastings in East Sussex.
The Medieval period includes the first half of the Tudor period (1485 – 1603 AD), when the Tudor family reigned in England and eventually in Scotland too.

The end of the Medieval period is marked by Henry VIII’s (1509 – 1547) order for the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the years running up to 1539 AD. The whole of this period is sometimes called the Middle Ages.
