Iscoyd Park was purchased in 1843 by Philip Lake Godsal, a Cheltenham coach builder, an estate of 202 acres (82 hectares) comprising mansion house with park, and cottages and smallholdings. Over subsequent decades farms were acquired from neighbouring landowners, mainly during the ownership of Philip William Godsal, who inherited in 1858 and died in 1896. In 1895 it was reported to the Royal Commission on Land in Wales and Monmouthshire that the Iscoyd Park estate, now expanded to 887 acres (359 hectares), had 9 farms. Of these 'six new farmhouses, bricked and slated, and homesteads to them, have been built new entirely' and 'sixteen cottages and buildings for pigs and cows have been erected'. The latter smallholdings include many that were built on the site of earlier smallholdings.
Crossfield, with its small shippon, was built in the early C20 but continues the tradition and style of late C19 estate buildings, albeit to a slightly higher specification.
A small shippon of brick with tile roof. On the L side is a boarded door with strap hinges, under a steel-framed pivoting overlight. To its R are 2 steel-framed windows and at the R end a low boarded door, probably for pitching manure, with strap hinges. In the rear is a split boarded door to the L under a hopper overlight, and boarded-up opening to the R.
Not inspected.
Listed for its special architectural interest as part of a well-preserved early C20 smallholding characteristic of the Iscoyd Park estate style, and for its contribution to the distinctive historic character of the district provided by surviving estate buildings, which together provide a good example of estate-sponsored improvement.
