Eighty years of peace and prosperity in the North saw the consolidation of the Norman presence along the border. The Anglo/Norman and Scottish/Norman families formed a single aristocracy, holding estates on both sides of the border and being vassals to both kings.

  • The Case of Wheelhouses in Northumberland
    Agricultural Innovation and Detectable Landscape Margins: The Case of Wheelhouses in Northumberland By J. A. HELLEN ARM buildings, in both plan and layout, are an important aspect of the rural landscape because they indicate something of the past history of the F farm and its economy; they are, to use Harvey's phrase, "structural documents. ''2 In their original function, certain farm buildings are significant relict features of technological stages in agrarian history and are, therefore, potentially valuable in the study of innovation and the analysis of agricultural margins. A case in point is the wheelhouse, a relatively small element in the farm-building complex, but a common feature of many Northumbrian farms. Originally designed to house the horse-wheel, a source of rotary power for threshing machines and similar implements, these wheelhouses were sub- sequently converted to other uses, where they were not demolished when rendered obsolete by technical advances or changes in land use. Although these buildings are of common concern to architectural and agricultural historians, as well as industrial archaeologists, their distribution patterns merit attention, and this short paper is intended to place on record the findings and implications of a survey of them conducted in z969 and I97o. 3 They call for more widespread study, not least because so many are now being demolished. Development of the wheelhouse It would be injudicious, in the absence of documentary evidence, to infer too much about agricultural innovation from the survival of wheelhouses alone, and this paper will attempt only to set Northumbrian wheelhouses in their historical context, and to isolate certain suggested subjects for further research 1 The author wishes to thank Mr H.
