Farmhouse and steading for a Farm in Oxfordshire, belonging to the Duke of Marlborough, 1858. A '...view taken from one of Mr. Wilkinson's models at the recent Smithfield Club Show...The rickyard is represented on the north of the buildings; and the long range of high buildings next to it, running from east to west, consists of the corn-dressing and grinding rooms; storehouses for straw, chaff, etc.; granaries, cart and waggon hovels, implement-sheds, and a carter's cottage...The covered yards receive all the dung, both in the solid and liquid state, from the feeding-stalls, stable, and piggery, which is trodden down by cattle kept in the yards, and it remains there without exposure to the weather until it is required on the land. By the arrangement of these yards, in connection with the other buildings, there is a great concentration of the work of the homestead, whereby a considerable saving of labour is effected, and the supervision of the buildings facilitated...The house...stands in front of the buildings: it enjoys a southern aspect, is surrounded with a pleasure garden'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858.
