Why it mattered
outbuilding — Drumaville matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A good vernacular thatched outbuilding, surviving in fine condition and representing an increasingly rare example of its type. The scale and architectural integrity of this quaint building add to its charm, whilst contributing character to the surrounding village of Drumaville. The thatched house to south (40901238) adds significance as part of a group. An unnamed settlement is marked on the Ordnance Survey first edition six-inch map of c. 1837. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
