Scope and Content Courtyard from south-west, Corseyard Farm, Dumfries & Galloway Corseyard Farm was built between 1911 and 1914 by James Brown, a retired cloth merchant from Manchester who bought the estate of Knockbrex for his retirement. Corseyard's architectural style would seem to be influenced by the Arts and Crafts Movement, a style popular between 1860 and 1925. This shows part of the square courtyard surrounded by steadings consisting of a large, Italian-style milking parlour, stables, loosebox, harness room, cart sheds, barn and a six-storeyed square tower. The steading is roofed with decorative, Roman-style, red asbestos roof tiles set in a diamond pattern. Two well-known exponents of the Arts and Crafts Movement were John Ruskin (1819-1900), and William Morris (1834-96). Inspired by the great medieval cathedrals, the movement tried to create beauty in an industrial age through the use of fine materials and craftsmanship. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
