British countryside is losing historic agricultural buildings....


Our British countryside is losing the once integral parts of its rural landscape. A worryingly increasing number of historic barns and other agricultural barns are disappearing according to a comparison of new and old maps.

According to English Heritage, the comparison showed that over 70% of English field barns have vanished since the mid-19th century.

Stables, fine barns and granaries, already dilapidated when the listing process was introduced in 1947, were not listed and allowed to subside into the mud.
