Formerly known as: The Forge COCKINGTON LANE Cockington.
Smithy. Probably late C18/early C19 with earlier origins.
Local stone rubble with some cob on front; thatched roof to
main forge, tiled roof to outshut.
PLAN: Smithy set on crossroads in centre of village, facing
north west. Lean-to outshut to rear.
EXTERIOR: Single storey with tall roof and roof carried
forward over covered working area. Lean-to outshut to rear.
Open working area with cobbled floor and roof carried on 3
posts. Front of smithy has doorway containing ancient 2-flap
door and shuttered window to right. Left (north-east) side
wall to Cockington Lane has a 2-window front; right window of
4 lights with internal shutters. The lean-to outshut has a
doorway containing an ancient 2-flap door. Roof is hipped both
ends and carried down to a lower level over the working area.
Blockings and butt joins in the walls show evidence of earlier
origins.
INTERIOR: Doorway from outshut to forge contains another
ancient door. The roof appears to be a C20 rebuild. The forge
is in complete working order with flue rising against
south-west wall.
The forge forms an important part of an exceptionally
attractive group of listed buildings in an unspoilt village
and the adjoining Cockington Park.
