Notes about this historic site
1 A hovel at Upper Radbourne Farm is constructed with four pillars, splayed at the top to support the roof. These look ecclesiastical and could have come from the ruined church.
2 Open spaces between pillars have been bricked up in order to make a barn. In 1975 the owner was proposing to knock down the barn, but (as far as I know) has not yet done so.
3 Eight fairly short pillars supporting the roof of a stable block. The owner said that they were brought from Radbourne Church. There does not appear to be any threat of demolition.
