Drummer Hill Farm

Drummer Hill Farm is a historic farm near Ingleby Greenhow, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The Victoria County History describes the parish of Ingleby Greenhow as "a desolate and thinly-populated region", but it does support several farms. Drummer Hill Farm has supported a mixture of arable and livestock farming. The principal interest is in a range of outbuildings. A barn and attached cart lodge with a granary above were constructed in the early 19th century, followed in the middle of the century by an engine house. The granary was later converted into a hay loft. The building was grade II* listed in 1990. The buildings are constructed of stone and some red brick, with an eaves band, and a pantile roof with a stone ridge and coping. The barn is of four bays and has a gabled engine house, and the cart lodge has three bays. On the front are external steps, and the openings include two elliptical arched entrances, slit vents and a stable door. Inside the engine house is a rare example of a horse engine in its original location. It consists of a wheel on a stone base, with an iron post in the centre, and wooden braces which connect with the crossbeams.
