The following building shall be added to the list;
TQ 1208 FINDON NEPCOTE GREEN
Nepcote
23/10044 The Wattle House
II
Wattle storage house. Built between 1792 and 1803, probably by George Holford who got
permission from the lord of Findon Manor in 1790 to hold an annual sheep fair at Nepcote
Green. This building was designed to store the wattles. Built of flint with red brick dressings.
Slate roof with 4 brick stacks. Two to three storeys; 3 windows. Cambered window openings,
boarded at time of survey. Horseshoe-arched entrances to ground floor with double doors. A
unique survival in a national context, one of a very small number of buildings which manifest
the importance of sheep to the economy of the southern downlands. Hurdles for fairs were
normally stored in the open, such as at Priddy in Somerset where they have become a
permanent fixture in the centre of the green.
