Summary
This report comprises the results of a building recording survey undertaken on a group of three
listed buildings with a fourth detached building; in close proximity.
The work was complicated as the three adjoined buildings; with post-medieval origins, have been
subjected to a great deal of development over their existence, some of it involving major structural
work.
What remains are isolated pockets of early features, dispersed amongst later developments or
expressions of artistic or fashionable trends.
The building recording work took place at during work to return the buildings to their pre-
internally joined state and as such added to the confusion.
In the case of the three buildings each retain limited but significant clues to their construction.
With the permission of GGAT, the significant parts of the structures were explored and recorded in
more detail where required.
The fourth building remained an enigma until its position to the other three buildings was identified
through both the measured survey work of this project and the results recorded during a watching
brief by Monmouth Archaeology to the rear of the building.
This strongly suggests that the detached barn would have once also been part of the complex of
three buildings discussed above.
The watching brief work also identified the possibility of considerable sub surface remains to the
rear of the three buildings and at least one of the three buildings, if not two have existing but
previously unrecorded cellars.
These features were discovered after the first draft of the building recording survey was underway
but significance was felt to be sufficient to require a re-appraisal of the initial findings; justifying
this major re draft.

Introduction
This document is the report of a building recording survey undertaken on a group of four properties, at St James
Square Monmouth.
The properties are nos 10 (St James House), 11 and 12, all fronting on to the street with a fourth property, Hatcham
barn to the rear.
The four properties are Grade II, period listed, although nos 10, 11 and 12 have been converted into an
interconnected building, used until a few years ago for Haberdashers School.
Haberdashers Company; the current owners of the buildings, originally applied for listed building consent and
planning approval in 2013 (DC/2013/00392 & DC/2013/00393) but this was refused in 2014 due to visual impact of
proposed buildings on the surrounding residential properties and inadequacy of proposed access, (GGAT 2015/012,
p5).
The proposals were then altered in respect of the objections and new applications were submitted and approved
PL.App: DC/2014/00552 and LB.Cons: DC/2014/00553, with conditions.
No development shall take place until the applicant, or their agents or successors in title,
has secured the implementation of a programme of archaeological work in accordance
with a written scheme of investigation which has been submitted by the applicant and
approved in writing by the local planning authority
Reason: To identify and record any features of archaeological interest discovered during
the works, in order to mitigate the impact of the works on the archaeological resource.
MON2040/GP
DC/2014/00552
The condition was later affirmed by GGAT in October 2014 (GGATMON2040/JB) and in April 2015 in a letter
from Monmouth County Council to Knight Frank LLP (agents) Ref: DC/2015/00283 for which the planning portal
carries no information.
The approval for planning and listed building consent reads: internal and external alterations to grade II listed
buildings, demolition of modern extensions, fire escape and garage, conversion of existing former boarding house
and staff accommodation in to three separate dwellings and conversion of an outbuilding within the curtilage of the
listed buildings to form a single dwelling, (Revised scheme), MCC.
Monmouth Archaeology produced a written scheme of investigation for the work ostensibly concentrating on the
watching brief to the rear of the property.
APAC. Ltd was contacted on the 8th March 2016 to undertake the level II building survey of the properties; already
in the process of development to seal off the internal access between buildings 10, 11, and 12, whilst the external
extensions had already been removed.
Prior commitments for APAC. Ltd allowed only three days to undertake a partial survey of those areas in the
immediate development area.
The matter was discussed with the client and GGAT who approved APAC. Ltd to undertake the building recording
survey under a pre-existing WSI for archaeological work drawn up by Monmouth Archaeology.
The initial emergency survey therefore covered ground and 1st floor rooms, across all three buildings, where internal
connections were to be blocked. (The progress, rooms 1 - 21 can be seen on the floor plan figures introduced later).
At this point the importance of the features seen in some of the rear rooms was discussed with GGAT who informed
Cadw and a visit was made by the latter, not attended by APAC. Ltd.
8
The outcome of the site visit by Cadw and related to GGAT was to instruct APAC Ltd to increase the detail of
recording on those areas where significant archaeological features remained.
The building recording survey was then continued the 4th and 5th of April after which work began on the report.
Fieldwork for the watching brief undertaken by Monmouth Archaeology was also near completion at this time,
Monmouth Archaeology having been led to believe that groundworks had been completed.
Monmouth Archaeology had discovered and recorded some sub-surface structures and it was hope to include
mention of these as they possibly related to St James’s House.
Whilst the report was underway, further excavation began at the rear of St James’s house, with further structures
uncovered as well as evidence of previously un recorded cellars to the rear of nos 12 and 11.
APAC. Ltd worked in conjunction with Monmouth Archaeology to record the structures and they are included in
this survey.
Site location
Monmouth has always been recognised as a gateway to Wales sited as it is on the English Welsh border, along the
River Wye.
The site at St James Square NGR SO 51070 12995, is to the west of the town just on the edge of the defensive bank
which formed the edge of the Norman town.
Geology & Topography
The drift geology at the site consists of superficial riverine sand and clay deposits overlying gravels.
Old Red Sandstone of the Raglan marl Group forms higher ground to the north.
(BGS 2016)
Brief archaeological and historical background
Monmouth
The archaeological record for the Monmouth area is well represented from prehistory to present; indeed, a 5km
diameter search centred on the town yields archaeological resources from the Bronze Age, Iron Age, Roman, Early
Medieval, Medieval, Norman, Post medieval and even Modern WWII.
The first documented record of Monmouth comes in the British section of the Itinerarium Provinciarum Antonini
Augusti, (RIVIT, 57. 1970).
On a Roman road between ISCA SILVRVM (Caerleon) and CALLEVA AREBATVM (Silchester); mid
way at 11 miles between BVRRIVM (Usk) and ARICONIVM (Weston Under Penyard is Monmouth).
The Antonine Itinerary has BLESTIO equidistant between BVRRIVM and ARICONIVM.
Accepting the interpretation for Roman BLESTIO (Blestium) as Monmouth, the location would have been for a site
of Roman interest on a boundary between the Iron Age tribes of the Silures and the Dobunni.
Primarily an initial military site, it is likely that later development in the 2nd to 4th centuries changed Blestio into a
civilian iron working settlement, ( Marvel 2001), (Sherman 2013), (Newman, 394. 2000) & (Clarke, 99. 2008).
Little is known of the period between the departure of the Romans and the coming of the Normans but it is
inconceivable that such an important site, with defences, infrastructure and possibly industry would have ceased to
exist.
9
Norman presence in Monmouth was established when William Fitz Osbern built a motte at Monmouth dated pre-
AD 1071, for that is when he died.
The position of such a defence would be typical of the sites selected by Fitz Osbern as he strengthened a border
along the Wye, (Phillips, p74 2006).
AD. 1297-1320 saw the construction of defences with the erection of town walls with fortified gates and gated
bridges encircling the town.
A later visitor, John Leland, c 1538, described Monmouth as ‘enclosed by a wall on that part which is not defended
by rivers…through age, the wall is broken and much of the defence is down… nevertheless extensive ruins remain
along with a deep ditch.’ (in) (Clarke, 69. 2008).
It is close to this ditch with its Roman, medieval and later finds that the St James’s building complex is located.
In Keith Kissacks, “Monmouth and its buildings”. It is suggested that
all the main streets in the town had evolved and were named by the middle of the 15th century, as a
result almost all houses have been rebuilt several times using the foundations of the older buildings,
... almost all buildings were originally based on narrow burgage plots, and because street frontage
was valuable the gable ends of buildings erected on these plots, faced the street
(Kissack, p29. 2003).
500m HER search area
Information Gathered by the HER report 5253 for a 500m radius search based on the NGR: SO51070 12995
suggests some 205 Core results, 70 Events and 227 NMR.
Of prime importance to the current programme of works to elucidate the history of the properties however, are
events taken place below (app 1, Fig 02):
E003710, NGR S05106112976 – excavations in 1957-8 unearthed some 200 sherds of 16th/17th century pottery and
kiln wasters. The trench also revealed a number post holes however postdating the finds.
E00318, NGR S051041304 – during an evaluation in 1973, evidence of prehistoric, roman, medieval and post
medieval activity was established.

04164g, NGR SO51071298 – grade II listed building, Cadw No: 2325. No 12 St James square is listed by Cadw as
being possibly built in c1600 with external treatment from the c19. Reason for designation states special
architectural interest as a multi period building of definitive character. Special significance is given to
“ancient feature readily seen is the roof structure which shows evidence of fire and several periods of
construction and alteration” Cadw ref: 2325
03946g, NGR SO51061298 – grade II listed building, Cadw No: 2324, No 10 St James’s House,
Cadw states
“This house is an amalgamation of two c1600 houses with possibly more ancient origins. These
houses were gable end to the street and a range was built parallel with the street in the C17. This part
was then heightened and given a mid C18 brick façade and in the early C19 the entrance with its
portico and the window above it was added and the lower range to the right incorporated with the
house.” “the rear wings were altered in the late C20 and a whole rear wing built.” Cadw ref: 2324
Map progressions.
Fig 04, John Speeds 1610 map shows a group of buildings situated in the area on Whitecross street where the
buildings now stand.
This confirms a buildings existence in the early 17th century and it is worth noting the lack of outbuildings built
behind St James’s; however, John Speeds map has a lot of artistic license.
Vision of Britain, first edition, 1831, Fig 06a, shows some buildings present in the area but this edition of mapping
can be a little unreliable in detail.
In John Woods 1835 survey, Fig 05, all three buildings are present. No 10 (St James’s House) appears as a large
square building encompassing more overall space than the other two buildings.
It is possible that it had originally been two smaller properties converted by this time and fitted with the current 18th
century façade.
No 11 on the other hand is represented as a long rectangle, built further forward on the road than either property
beside it. The building also further extends from the back almost three times that of the other houses.
House 12 is represented as the smaller of the three, set back slightly from the road with a porch.
On the 1886 map Monmouthshire XII, Fig 06b, the complex of buildings can be clearly seen, however the boundary
lines of the “Woods 1835 Survey” are no longer in position.
The buildings have shown little of change except for the edition of many more outbuildings to the back of buildings
11 and 12.
Whether these outbuildings are connected to the street front buildings, as the map suggests, is inconclusive as the
map shows all the buildings as one.
One major change from the Woods map shows the front southern elevations of the buildings to all now follow the
same alignment.
Fig 06c Monmouthshire XIV.NE 1900 shows little change with all buildings in the area now shown as one block,
making it difficult to ascertain which outbuildings belong to what house.
One small change to the area is the orchard slightly to the west of St James’s has been removed for a new structure
to be built.
11
In Fig 06d Monmouthshire XIV 1918 and Fig 06e Gloucester XXX.SW 1943 both maps also for the first time that
building 11 is no longer connected to the outbuilding that it was connected to in previous maps and that there is now
open space between house and possible outbuilding.
In the modern map Fig 06e Magic maps, 2016, the map clearly shows that building 10 to has been extended
northwards to match that of building 11 and most of the outbuildings have been removed leaving only Hatcham
barn.
St James House Documentary Evidence
St James house is mentioned by Bradney.
The house, now called St James’s house, belonged to the family of Fortune. Though the front of the
house bears the appearance of the middle 18th century, the back premises are very old…
William Fortune, 1573 - 1639, Son of Walter fortune capper of Monmouth, resided within the house
and wealthy enough to own several burgage plots.
(Bradney, p.18. 1907).
William Fortune:
he was town clerk by 1594. He owned several burgages, although he was not in the first rank of
property-holders” (The History of Parliament: The House of Commons 1604-1629”
(ed. Thrush and Ferris, 2010, historyofparlimentonline)
At the time of writing in 1907 Bradney listed the then current owner of St James’s house as Dr. Thomas Gilbert
Prosser.
The property is known to have been established as a boy’s school in the mid 1950’s (Kissack p 129. 1995).
St James’s, (no 10) no 11 and no 12, are all now currently empty waiting for redevelopment.
Aims and Objectives
The aim of the level II survey is to preserve by record the structure of the building, prior to refurbishment and in so
doing’ provide a facility for understanding the building’s historic development.
The record produced can then be used to guide the determination of the planning condition as to the final design of
refurbishment.
Report
The report has been designed to elucidate the character of 3 properties, No 10 St James House, No 11 and No 12.
The report comprises the Building Survey undertaken from room to room of the buildings in question.
The number sequence annotated in figs 07, ground floor, fig 08 1st floor and fig 09 2nd floor and attics reveals the
path of the survey and of note is the first 20 rooms which were covered during the emergency recording work 9, 10
& 11 march 2016.
External of properties
The south elevation of No 10, St James’s house front Façade, is atypical of Georgian architecture, with later
Victorian editions. The façade features 4x12 light sash windows on ground and 1st floor, with 1 modified domed
central sash window. The top floor features 5x12 sash windows. The main entrance to the building features a Greek
Revival, Doric columned wooden porch with fan lighted central main door, (PL01).
12
There is a descending roof height from No 10,11,12. The front elevation replaces what were originally gable ended
properties. Evidence for this can be clearly seen from the back, gable ends, to the north of the properties. (PL02).
An early, 1956 image of the rear of the properties as shown in Kissack’s 2003 publication and it is worth
introducing at this stage as it illustrates very well the degree of change that can happen in even a short space of 50
years, Image 01.
The 1956 image shows not only the chimney stack to its full height but also the scar of a previous single storey
extension to the north and a further elevation to the east.
Plate (PL03), shows a detail view of the chimney stack in its present state; note the differential weathering to the left
and right of the upper stack, revealing where the 1956 extension roof had been.
Almost the same view as the 1956 image is given in Image 02, 2000, which shows the reduced chimney, the new
build to the right with fire escape and the range of flat roofed extensions that were removed prior to this survey.
The original stone windows are also all present in the north gable end of house 10. (PL04). Equidistant from the
central stack, both possible 16th century stone mullioned windows are shown. The one on the left with dripstone is
extremely weathered whereas the one on the right, minus dripstone but with extensive repointing is almost pristine.
It is possible of course that the right window has been renewed however as can be seen in the 1956 image, Image 01,
it used to be within the roof of the extension.
The configuration of the roofs can be seen from the north highlighting their change in orientation as suggested by
Cadw listings above, (PL05).
Unfortunately, houses 11 and 12 are covered in render denying access to any construction or phasing detail that the
underlying masonry would provide, (PL06).
However, up until recently house 11 had modern buildings built against it which have now been removed exposing
the same un-coarsed local sandstone brickwork on the lower part of the house that matches that of the brickwork in
house 10, (PL07) suggesting a contemporary construction.
Internal of properties
Room 34, No 10, ground floor
The main entrance to building 10, (PL08) comprises a foyer leading north into a passage way to room 3 (PL09), and
doorways leading west to room 33, (PL10) and to east to room 1, (PL11). The doorways east and west, open through
6 panel Georgian doors re-hung on recent 20th c fire doors, (PL12). This style of door is fitted throughout buildings
10 and 11. The doors and ceiling are all heavily decorated with architrave and stepped cornices, (PL13) the door
architrave being topped with classical pediments, (PL14). The foyer is also fitted with an elaborately decorated dog
leg staircase with half landing, (PL15), ending with an ascending volute staircase to a newel post, (PL16). The
banister is fitted with slender turned mid-18th century balusters, (PL17) and leads to the 1st floor landing, room 23.
The ceiling is also decorated with geometrical wall paper, (PL18) and the floor covered with Victorian style tiles,
(PL19). The position of the staircase is peculiar and on close examination it can be seen to be a later addition.
Evidence for this can be seen in the abrupt termination of decoration such as the door case and pediment to room 3,
(PL20). Room 3 also provided access to the cellar, positioned under room 33, its door set under the staircase, (PL21)
and therefore postdating the latter.
A large square room 1st right from the main foyer and one of the areas being changed as part of the work to remove
the internal connections between the separate houses; in this instance a wide opening between rooms 1 and room 8.
The large room had been doubled in size with the removal of the adjoining party wall, the remaining floor covering
attests to the rooms former layout (PL22). The room comprise of two Georgian style box panelled windows, (PL23),
(PL24) with one entrance a, fitted with a six panelled Georgian door hung on a modern fire door, (PL25). The doors
and windows are decorated with deep relief architrave. Two further doors lead to storage spaces within the northern
wall, (PL26) right and (PL27) left blocked off with modern shelfing. The door to the right opens to a storage
cupboard, (PL28), which retains an earlier floor of flagstones under the more modern parquet flooring in the rest of
the room, (PL29). The ceiling in the room is surrounded by a dentilled cornice once part of the pre-early19th/18th
century façade remodelling, (PL30). The rest of the room has been modernised with dado rails, (PL31) skirting and
13
modern fixtures and fittings, (PL32). The modern dado and skirting has also replaced the bottom half of the original
Georgian box panelled sash window frame, (PL33).
The most westerly room opens from the main foyer (room 34) and follows the same style as all the south elevation
rooms along the front façade of building 10/11. The room comprises of one entrance with double hung Georgian
door and two box panelled sash windows, (PL34). The ceiling comprises of geometrical decorative wall paper
framed with a shallow cornice, (PL35), Central to the west gable is a decorative fixed fireplace which has been
blocked in with modern, faced bricks, (PL36). There is no evidence of the chimney externally so the entire structure
is housed within the wall. The north and eastern walls appear to be less solid when rapped upon than the rest of the
building which suggests their construction was part of the Georgian façade phase of development.
Room 2 is modern cross passage between the southern and northern rooms 1 & 4, providing the internal through
connection between the earlier divided properties: houses 10 & 11. At the western end, (PL37) is an exit into the
new build property not covered by this survey. To the left of the photograph is the door to the foyer, (room 34) and
to the right passage way 3 to the rear exit. The doorway to the west is in a wide passageway which has been
narrowed, non-symmetrically to form an awkward door frame. The door header is stone but the ceiling arch is a
modern insertion, whilst the panelling to the left is not understood as it is the only panelling of its type in the whole
building. Towards the east, (PL38), the passageway has another drop arch at the adjoining wall between houses 10
& 11 and a storage cupboard to the west which appears to be contained within the wall thickness with room 1. The
cupboard was locked at the time of the survey.
Room 3 is a passage entered from the rear of the building, (PL39) or the southern foyer (room 34) and provides
access to passage room 2. The view shows a modern partition wall with room 4, right and an original 17th century
external window to the left, (PL40). The window has four lights; fitted with modern glass set in stone cavetto
mullions with vertical bars, (PL 41, PL42 & PL 43).
Returning briefly to PL39, above the fire exit sign and decorative frame is the small cornice which extends along the
both the western wall and northern wall into room 4 but is cut by the modern partition. As will be seen below room
3 is therefore a modern alteration to the original room 4. Considering the configuration of room 4 below the rear
access door is probably also modern.
Room 4, the continuation of the cornice from passage 3 into room 4 can be seen in (PL44), above the door. Also, the
top left of (PL45) shows the partition wall and the corner with the south wall; also without the cornice, which would
suggest the south wall, which is also the north wall of passage 2 is modern. To the east the room leads by way of
another internal connection to property 11; being blocked at the time of the survey, PL46. Although the majority of
the room has been modernised, there is an eared architrave, overmantle frame is affixed to the centre of the northern
wall, (PL47). The type of frame was popular in the mid to late 17th centuries and behind it is an early chimney stack,
(PL02). The position of the hidden fireplace is just about visible in (PL44) as a rectangular scar in the paintwork
beneath the frame.
Room 5 comprises of a very small cupboard space to the north east of passage, room 2, south of the passageway
between room 4 building 10 and room 6 of building 11. The room is of little interest apart from the possible remains
of a 16th /17th century oak box timber frame, that could have been used for weatherproofing and decoration (PL48).
The frame would have been filled with wattle and daub composite then lath and plastered. It suggests that the room
was once western boundary for original house. (see phasing). There is also remains of a large chamfered beam or
door lintel under which a stud partition plasterboard wall with door way has been inserted, (PL49).
Room 42, a cellar underneath room 33, was not on the original building plans and so its survey was undertaken by
A.P.A.C. Ltd. See fig 10. The room itself is sub divided into two parts, separated by an arched infilled wall with fire
door, (PL50). The room is only accessible from the foyer, through an architrave doorway underneath the staircase,
14
(PL51). The rooms original access appears to have been a stepped dray that would have been in use for the storage
and deployment of barrels, (PL52). This access to the north is now blocked up but it would have originally lead to
were the modern build is now, (not covered by this report). The western room of the cellar now holds the heating
apparatus for the properties, (PL53). Both rooms have been rendered and recently modified obliterating any useful
features that may have been present. Of interest is a curved infill at the interface with the ground floor above the
steps, possibly related to goods or installation modifications, (PL54). Also, the western most room does have one
surviving barred window opening to the south at ground level of the building, (PL55).
Room 23, No 10, 1st floor
Room 23, is the main landing for the 1st floor, accessed from the foyer 34 via a late Victorian, dog leg staircase,
(PL56); it continues up to the 2nd floor room 36 via a modern utility staircase with metal rail and bannisters (PL57).
The second light of stairs has modified the landing space as can be seen by the remnants of the balustrade settings,
under the new stair flight, (PL58). Leading from the landing to the west is room 22 and to the east room 10. Both
rooms have matching Georgian, panel clad fire doors set in deep relief architrave, (PL59). Towards the north, the
landing leads to a modern glass panel fire door, (PL57) allowing access to the rear rooms and passage 21. The rest
of the room is finished with deep relief cornice and modern dado rail, (PL60). The focus of the room however is the
modified Georgian sash window, (PL60), with functioning panelled shutters (PL61) and a later edition Victorian
domed central façade window with decorated shell domed cornice, (PL63). This is thought to be an edition added
around the same time as the elaborate staircase, to provide extra light within the room. This window is the only one
of its kind within the building and adds a focal point to both the internal and external façade. The room is also fitted
with modern period style, fixtures and lighting, (PL64).
Room 21, house 10, 1st floor
This room acts as a passageway from the first-floor landing, room 23, into: room 20 to the north, the modern annex
excluded from the survey to the west, and house 11 via passageway 16 to the east. The passage way is completely
modern with dropped ceilings and partition walls. (PL65) shows passage 21 viewed towards the east with the drop
arch located at the party wall with buildings 10 and 11.
Room 20 is potentially a partial survival of a much larger room that would have encompassed rooms 18, 19, and 21
at some point in the 17th century. It is possible to deduce this from: the floor plan, fig 06; note the width of the
enclosing walls, and the continuity of the support beams across the entire space, which do not respect the internal
divisions, PL66, PL67, PL68 & PL69. The beams within room 20 are very ornate with plasterwork friezes of
“running vine” decoration over the oak structure, dividing the room into two boxed areas which are decorated with
Tudor roses and fleur de lye, (PL70). To the south west of the room the cornice continues through the wall into the
passageway Room 21, (PL66 & PL68). The eastern partition wall separating rooms 15 & 19 from 20 again has a
continuation of the main beams through the wall, (PL 70 & PL71). To the west, the cornice continues through the
outer wall, (PL67 & PL69), possibly with the right-angle return in (PL67) indicating an earlier projecting pier or
window prior to the current Georgian sash replacement, (PL72). The Georgian replacement has a wooden panelled
box shutters similar to the those in the front façade. To the north a timber framed casement window is set into deep,
stone, wall recess, (PL73). This latter window is the one shown in plain PL04, right.
Room 15 is a small storage space lined with partition walls and cupboards which leaves little of interest to record.
The only possible exception being a wooden beam in the south west corner which is not clearly understood, PL74.
Room 19 is a modernised fitted again most of the available wall space is covered. As stated above rooms 15 and 19
are thought to have originally been part of room 20, due to the continuation of the beams as shown in PL74, room 15
& PL75 room 19. The north wall of the room does have a central timber casement window set in a splayed wall
recess. The window is set in a 17th c stone cavetto mullion, (PL76) and is the window in PL04 left.
To the south of room 19 lies room 18, a small cupboard sized room thought to have functioned as a pantry, (PL77).
The room contains decorative plasterwork frieze depicting plant with leaves and a flower, (PL78), which Kissack
recorded as the oldest plasterwork in Monmouth dating it to c1600, (Kissack, p136. 2003). It is however worth
noting that Kissack recorded a very similar design in the oriel window at Monmouth Priory, a building originating in
1490, (ibid pp 27 and 114). At present, the frieze is above the small entry door and therefore only visible on exit.
Almost the entire ceiling has an enclosing ovolo ribbed cornice, (PL77) which follows the configuration of the
present room, including one of the roof trusses, (PL79 & PL80). The only exception to the bounding cornice is the
south wall where the plasterwork is cut by the partition wall, (PL77); however, the cornice can be seen to have been
15
complete prior to partitioning as it returns in passageway 16, (PL81 & PL82). The partition wall itself has a modern
wired glass window which would suggest modern construction, possibly related to the development of the internal
access way, room 16. The east wall has a 3 light, C17 stone cavetto mullioned window frame with two casement
windows with leaded panes, and decorative frosted stained glass, (PL83 & PL84) but the central window has
replacement. (PL82) The window is situated under an exposed truss blade to wall plate, (PL77) and opens out onto
the building 11 roof. (PL82).
Room 10, has an access from the landing, room 23 through a doorway with double Georgian six panelled façade,
with modern fire door back, seen elsewhere in building 10, (PL85). The adjacent door in the east wall is deeply
recessed and lacks architrave, (PL86). The recess emphasises the fact that the doorway has been made through the
original party wall between buildings 10 and 11. The room is fitted with 2 twelve pane Georgian sash windows with
boxed wooden box shutters, (PL85), (PL86) & PL87). The room is furnished with modern lights and carpeting and
poster boards adorn the wall, as in many of the other rooms used within the school period, (PL88). There is a
possibility of a fireplace in the eastern wall and the room also has a boxed central ceiling beam but no coving
(PL89).
Room 22, accessed from the staircase room 23, is the most westerly room in building 10. Much in keeping with
room 10 the room is fitted with 2 sash windows with boxed wooden box shutters and pillar and plinth decorative
finish to window recesses, (PL90). Unlike room 10, 22 has cornice to all four walls. The rooms entrance, features
the 2 double hung doors concurrent with the rest of the building, (PL91). A 2nd door exits into the modern building,
(PL92). The room also features two rounded arch recess in its western wall (PL93); possibly a fireplace, and is
finished with modern dado rails and skirting. The room also holds a boxed central ceiling beam, (PL94).
Room 36 and 38, house 10, 2nd floor
Room 36 functions as the top floor landing between rooms 35 and 37. It features a glass and wood frame partition
acting as a barrier from stair to landing, (PL95) and features one replacement sash window to the southern elevation,
(PL01). All features are modern including fixtures and carpeting. There is a small broom cupboard to the north east
of the landing, room 38, (PL96). Room 38 shows evidence of the rear roof configuration which, as will be seen
below, is continued across the northern side of building 10 rooms 35 & 37.
Room 35, house 10, 2nd floor
Room 35 is accessed via room 36 landing. The room is of a modern configuration with, modern fixtures and fittings
and two replacement sash windows in the south elevation, shown externally in PL01. The north wall is the underside
of the lower section of ridge roof with boxed in truss and two purlins, (PL97). The suspended ceiling is carried from
a central boxed in beam which sits on an outward projection from the west wall which is possibly a chimney breast.
Room 37 follows the roofing structure concurrent with the rest of the floor; however, the earlier ridge north south
roof construction is evident and has been adapted into the new created space, (PL98). There is a fractional partition
to the north of the room by the entrance to room 39 and a possible chimney breast to the east, (PL99). The room is
modernised by way of decoration and fixtures and fittings and the east west roof structure has been extended to the
south, by reducing the pitch, (PL01).
The door way from room 37 leads up three steps into a small landing, room 39 giving access to some modern toilets
room 40 which subdivide the width of the northern gable ended part of the building. The room features one window
to the west and a dropped modern ceiling and has one major feature of interest which is the exposed truss and collar
which provides evidence of orientation of original roof, (PL100).
Room 40, at the time of the survey, a multifacility bathroom with modern day fixtures and bathroom fittings
occupying the eastern half of the gable ended building. Formerly part of the attic space the room has a partial
16
pitched wall under a suspended ceiling and exposed trusses, (PL101, PL102 & PL103). Plate (PL101) shows the
southern wall with a chimney breast, eastern window light and a partial collared truss. To the north is a small
internally splayed stone window, (PL104) (see also PL02 top left) topped with stone arch, possibly 17th c. The room
has an opening into the attic, room 41.
Room 41, house 10, 2nd floor attic.
Immediately south of the access hatch to attic room 41 is the remains of a what appears to be a brick built, capped
chimney, (PL105), Although there is no evidence for such a structure on the ground and first floors, there was in
room 40, (PL101), below it. There is also no evidence within the current roof structure for this chimney to have had
an exit point. The attic itself has at least two restructuring events but there are other repairs some of which are fairly,
modern. The original (north to south) gable end to gable end formation, (PL106) & (PL07), features rough sawn
rafters, hewn principle trusses with pegged halved joints carrying the ridge purlin and trenched purlins, all pegged to
rafters, (PL108). At the northern gable end, (PL106) the difference in masonry reveals the capped chimney, (PL02)
which was intact in 1956 (Image 01). To the south, (PL107) the sawn timbers in the background are the truss and
purlins of the east/west ridge that form the front elevation of building 10.
Room 8, house 11, ground floor.
Room 8; now accessed via a passage, room 7 to the north, was until the beginning of this survey open along its
western wall effectively doubling the size of room 1. The adjoining access through to original wall between
properties 10 and 11, has now been filled with supporting steel girders and breeze blocks (PL109). The room
features 19th century replacement sash windows, (PL01) set in Georgian wooden architrave, cut through halfway to
be replaced by modern panelling, (PL110). The floor is wooden parquet; a continuation of the covering from room 1
and therefore contemporary with the work to provide the internal connections during its change of use, (111). The
room is decorated with an early Georgian coffer ceiling and cornice, with pegged tie traverse beams from east to
west, (PL112). The western ends of the tie beam have a slight extension to the wall plate, (PL113) not found on the
eastern side, (PL114) but both have a matching cornice. The northern coffer support sits on the wall and has a
matching cornice however the southern side has no cornice and the coffer pattern has been foreshortened, (PL114).
It is worth noting that in John Woods 1835 survey map, the front of No 11 is seen extending past that of no 10 and
no 12. FIG 05. The front wall is known to have been modified to the Georgian façade but it seems that the original
front has been reduced from the road therefore allowing for the ‘Greek Revival’ portico embellishment of the main
building 12. ‘The average town house was not allowed to extend onto the street and had to be content with a small
hood and fanlight. If the house was set back, it could, during the Greek Revival erect imposing porticoes,’ (Kissack,
p102. 2003). One final feature is worth a mention; between the two windows is a rectilinear bulge in the wall that
remains unexplained, (115). It is possible that it may relate to the original entrance to the house, 11, but this would
not concur with the substantial realignment of the front of the house suggested by the above and the degree of
foreshortening of the south coffer structure.
Room 6
Room 6 was at the time of the survey the northernmost room of building 11 and the focus of the development work
which made it difficult to record and interpret with any confident accuracy, (PL116). The majority of the room had a
modern finish and the ceiling new plasterboard, above the earlier, east west, exposed beams. The southern wall was
a partition separating room 6 from room 7 and ran at odds with the configuration of the beams confirming that the
rooms 6 & 7 were originally one, (PL117). The northern beams of room 6 also not align properly with the walls of
the building the most northern timber partially disappearing within the wall itself, (PL118). The beams themselves
exhibit multiple cut marks and modifications, (PL119) & (120). A final feature, again not fully understood is the
boxed in support at the north-east corner, (PL121). Difficult to photograph due to limited space it is best illustrated
with reference to the floor plan fig 07, room 6 top right corner. The pillar is indicated as an internal structure
providing a reverse splay for a window; the corresponding splay of the window being orientated correctly.
Room 7
As was stated above, room 7 is part of a larger room which included room 6. At the time of the survey, room 7, an
access between passage between buildings 11 and 12, was the focus of building activity and a very small space
which again restricted the recording, (PL122). As with room 6 the ceiling retained original beams, (PL123).
17
Room 11 is accessible at the west from room 10, house 10, through the recessed door, (see PL86). At the north is a
partial partition wall and a door to passageway/room 16 and a small area which leads down three steps to toilet
blocks 14, (PL124). To the east are thee steps to room 25b, (PL124) and another door, recessed and stepped, leading
through the original party wall and into room 12 house 12, (PL125). The room is fitted with two box sash shuttered
windows concurrent with the rest of the south elevation façade, (PL01 & PL125) and the doors in room 11 are fitted
with the same double hung Georgian door seen in the rest of house 10, however the door architrave is modern and
there is no coving, PL126). Rooms 11 and 12 share the original party wall divide between houses 11 and 12 and to
the north, just before to entrance to room 14 a boxed truss and battered wall shows evidence of the internal original
roof structure of house 11, (PL124). The batter to the party wall can be clearly seen in (PL127); the door to room 14
is centre photograph.
Room 16, house 11, 1st floor.
Room 16 passageway connects to passageway 21 to the west, room 11 to the south and provides access to room17,
to the north. The passageway is entirely modern with a dropped ceiling with a modern domed archway, (PL65). The
north and south walls have been modified and brought in to match the edge of the domed arch but there is a possible
blocked door way to room11 in the southern wall, (PL128). In the north wall near the building divide for house 11,
is an early original small stone framed window with central bar looks out over the two property roofs, (PL128 &
PL129). The windows’ lintel is partially covered by the modern dropping of the ceiling. (PL130)
Room 17, house 11, 1st floor.
Room 17, accessed from passageway 16 is a 20th century bathroom, installed to serve the boys school in the 1950’s
with even more recent updates, (PL131). The window opening to the north is worth noting due to the thickness of
the wall and the size of the opening, reminiscent of a first-floor loading hoist (PL132). The western ceiling of the
room includes the pitch of the roof ridge which has a northern gable as with the earliest known structural
configuration, (PL131 & PL133).
Room 25a, house 12, ground floor
Room 25a is the main entrance way to property 12, (PL134) and connects with all the ground floor rooms, gives
access to the rear, (PL135) and a stairwell to the first floor, (PL136). The stairway to the west leads up to the 1st and
2nd floor of the building. The hallway connects to rooms 29, 28, 30, and hallway room 9. It also connected to two
modern bathrooms to the north of passageway 9. The entrance way porch it fitted with matchwood slatted walls and
modern fixtures (PL137). The north exit, (PL135) is fitted with a modern plastic and metal glassed door and cat flap.
The original door lintels possibly still exit. There is a hidden recess in the west wall, possibly owing to changes in
structural fabric whilst being modernised, (PL134). Although much of house 12 has been modernised there is a
boxed central transverse beam, (PL138) continuing across the passage and through wall into room 28, see below.
Note the partial wall bracket.
Room 29, house 12, ground floor
Room 29 west of corridor 25a, features a later edition splayed bay window not in keeping with the sash windows of
the rest of the buildings, (PL139 & PL140). The sash windows also differ from those of the rest of the complex
being four light instead of the Georgian style. Also worth noting that none of the three sash windows are aligned in
any way with their counterparts;
top left is the highest and slightly offset east of the lower bay
top right lower than the west window
bottom right offset east in relation to upper window and shorter
the door is also not central as first appears but located to the east.
All internal features of room 29 are modern; MDF door, frame and skirting. (PL141 & PL142). One feature is worth
noting; in the west wall is a rectangular alcove which appears out of place, within the context of both the room and
the structure of the party wall with building 11. Also, the transverse beam noted in 25a above, (PL138) has no
support but appears to rest on the partition wall, (PL141).
18
Room 28 is accessed via passageway room 25a to the east and is heavily modernised, (PL143) The room has a
centrally positioned splayed sash window, (PL143 & PL144). The ceiling has a boxed traverse beam that enters the
room via a plasterboard wall partition from passageway room 25a, (PL145), see also (PL138). The beam ends at the
eastern wall on a substantial wall brace, which considering its position could be the remains of in a possible cruck
blade, (PL146) for an earlier north south gabled building. Also of note is the curvature of the south-east wall
possibly a fireplace and concurrent with the room above, room 24, (PL143 & PL147).
Room 30 north of room 28, accessed via passageway room 25a, is a heavily modernised room with an internally
splayed casement window with a modern window and frame in the north wall. (PL148) The room has a boxed
central transverse beam, with a possible correlation with central beam in room 28. (PL149)
Room 9 is a general passageway to the northwest of building 12. An offshoot of room 25a and prior to
refurbishment, connected to room 7, house 11, see (PL122). To the north of the room, two modern bathrooms can be
accessed. (PL150)
Room 31, house 12, ground floor.
Room 31 is accessed through room 30 and was originally a rear part of property 13. The EDP document states that it
was included as part of the purchase in 1969 and the first floor above added to the property soon after; although it
suggests that the new addition was part of building 14 which is a little difficult to understand, (EDP1694_02a, p 35.
2013). The room consists of possible partial 16th/17th c un-coursed stone wall to the south, (PL151, PL152 &
PL153). The entire southern wall can be seen in (PL154) starting top left the remains of an original arched beam,
detailed in (PL155 & PL156). The arched beam may have been associated with the original door into building 13.
Top centre, (PL154), modern cement patching around a replacement support for an earlier north/south transverse
beam, (PL157) & (PL158). To the right of the inserted north/south, transverse beam is a section of the original east
west beam from which all the earlier north /south ceiling joists are supported, (PL159). Beneath the inserted beam
repair is a section of brick work, note the vertical butt joint left. To the right of (PL154) is an offset section of wall
with a bricked in central fireplace, a segmental arched recess to the right and a surbased arched recess to the left.
Above the inserted fire place and wall, the original east west joists are still in place, (PL159) but must run into the
new chimney stack. The floor of the room is paved with possible original flagstone flooring. (PL160) This room, not
being modified to the extent of the other rooms in the house holds more of its original possibly medieval structure.
Room 44 house 12.
Room 44, although not on building plans, was unearthed during the second phase of excavations for services to the
rear of the properties. This excavation work was undertaken under an archaeological watching brief contracted by
Monmouth Archaeology. Detail for the watching brief will be found in the Monmouth Archaeology report, (MA
22.16), however, reference can be made to the layout of features discovered as APAC. Ltd surveyed the information
in and produced the measured plan, Fig 15.
To the rear of building 12; specifically, beneath the modernised bathroom off room 9 is a blocked opening, between
two parallel vertical wall ends, (PL161). The blocked-up wall was excavated to a depth of 800mm beneath ground
level but is known to continue beyond the depth of the service trench. The obvious impact of a possible void beneath
the building prompted a small inspection hole to be sanctioned by the client. A hole was then chiselled through the
top of the blocking and into the void beyond, (PL162). The wall consisted of an outer wall of coursed masonry
beyond which was a narrow gap before a brick wall. On the inside of the brick wall was a layer of building debris
and a large ceramic object, (PL162), the plate contains a 50p for scale.
There is a second blocked void beneath building 11, room 6, a few meters west and at the same height and same
width, PL163) but this was not investigated.
Room 12 is accessed via room 11, house 11 down a small flight of stairs through the thick adjoining wall, (PL164),
see also (PL125). The step down into room 12 from the west is through a doorway with modern architrave,
19
decorated with a blank fanlight; similar in dimension to the window height adjustment seen at the front elevation for
building 12, (PL140), top left. The room features a single sash window replacement (PL165) and is decorated with
blue painted plaster board frames and butterfly decals, (PL166) The western original party wall features a wall batter
in line with the original external wall line (PL167).
Room 13 is accessed to the north east of room 11, through a curved stairwell (PL168), see also (PL124). The
stairwell curves around a possible disused chimney and its ceiling picks up the earlier north south roof pitch,
(PL169). The room itself heavily modernised, but retains an internally splayed window in the eastern wall, (PL170);
now fitted with a modern casement window. The ceiling has been dropped and modern roof truss blades reveal the
roof ridge orientation above (PL171). The floor is made up of modern 20th century floor boards over sawn beams
from bathrooms below, (PL172).
Room 25b, house 12, 1st floor
Room 25b acts as the main hallway between rooms 13, 27, 26, 24 and 12. The hallways also houses a modern
staircase between the ground and 2nd floors (PL173 & PL135). There is a change in ceiling structure, evidenced by a
small protruding beam; probably modified during the structural change in roof for stairwell to 32, 2nd floor, (PL174).
Room 24 to the south east of building 12 is accessed via passageway room 25b. the room is heavily modernised with
a replacement modern box sash window and a boxed relief feature to east wall and ceiling, (PL175). The south
eastern corner has the corner angle for a possible fireplace; a continuation of the feature from room 28 below,
(PL143 & PL147).
Room 26 is a small room under stairs to 32, with modern partition walls it features a small modern casement
window and lath and plaster ceiling, (PL176). The room acts as a small modernised storage space with a rear wall
stud partition.
Room 27, the most easterly room in house 12 and once part of house 13 (see room 31) is accessed via room 25b
passageway. The room is mostly modernised with a modern casement window to the north. The ceiling has been
modernised with machine cut timber that support original hewn timbers and rafters in exposed roof space, (PL177).
Room 43, house 12 attic.
The attic of house 12 was accessed with some difficulty through the ceiling room 11 house 11. The attic shows
remnants of previous roofing structure, under modern roof phases, (PL178) The two phases of ridge roof are shown
with earlier wooden pegged purlins, cut into an earlier lath and plaster ceiling on rounded rafters (PL179). The
remnants of the previous roofing structures and orientations are also evident in the form of a mortice and tenon
queen post from a tie beam, (PL180) with entrenched and pegged purlin and rafters. The stonework shows changes
in phasing from coarsed stone to more modern brickwork, (PL181).
Room 32, house 12, 2nd floor.
Room 32 comprises uppermost room of house no 12; a converted attic, PL06. A central recess hides an internal
staircase from room 25b, (PL182), below. The orientation of the ceiling is concurrent with the earlier build but the
structure appears to be wholly modern.
Barn
To the north of the properties described above, is detached outbuilding assumed to be a barn, indeed referred to as
Hatcham Barn, (PL183). The building of mostly uncoursed rubble construction has had many repairs and
modifications, including extensions and possibly reductions. The building is aligned north south with the northern
gable end inaccessible, whilst the southern gable end has no features of significance, (PL184). The entire building,
which has a corrugated tin roof is in a poor state of repair.
20
Towards the northern end of the western elevation, a wooden double door has been recently inserted or repaired,
PL185 & PL186). The south-eastern elevation appears to have an extension with a raised roof and full height doors
whilst abutting it is a lower double door; both sets clad in corrugated tin sheeting, (PL05, PL183 & PL185). The
structure does have some very significant features; five parallel sets of ground and first floor windows along both
elevations, (PL187 & PL188); all blocked but some retaining early pegged wooden frames with central mullions,
(PL189). The ground floor windows on both sides possible offer a clue to the buildings past as ground floor level in
this case is quite literal. The sills are at ground level which must mean that the level of the ground, both internally
and externally has been raised. This interpretation is backed up with the watching brief conducted by Monmouth
Archaeology, fig 15, which produced walls at a much lower level than the current ground level. The survey also
identifies that building 11 has walls parallel with those of the barn from which is reasonable to infer that they were
once joined. Reference to the early mapping such as the 1835 John Woods survey map, fig 05, confirms the building
was once part of the original structure of building 11. If this interpretation is the case and the cellars exist under both
buildings 11 and 12, as indicated then the present ground floor windows of the barn may turn out to be either ceiling
height or 1st floor fenestration.
Phasing
The Properties No: 10 St James’s House, 11 and 12, are a mixture of different period structures that have been built
upon and significantly reformed since at least the 16th 17th century although an earlier 15th century date cannot be
ruled out.
The reasoning behind this assumption comes from “Kissack’s” work, particularly on road layout and properties
development, (p9. 2003) as well as the proximity to early defensive structures such as the east gate and town ditch.
Against the documentary backdrop a simplified interpretation of the phasing of the complex has been attempted
based on observable features, alignments and configurations noted during the survey.
The following is a possible phasing of the standing properties; explained, with reference to; figs 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14.
Ground floor Fig 10
Areas marked in light grey are thought to have been part of the original building. In passageway 3, there is a large
cavetto mullioned stone window; a late 16th century architectural style, it clearly marks the boundary wall on the
original western elevation, (PL42).
To the north of the building, rooms 4 and 6 have thick boundary walls with two modern doorways and a skewed
window. These recesses lead to modern 20th century extensions, marked in dark blue, which have since been
demolished. Also in room 4, the northern gable end extends to an external chimney stack which has now been
blocked up but, thought to have been one of the original 16th/17th century features, due to its position at the back of
the original gable end, (PL02).
Along passageway 2, stud wall boarding has been put up to separate it from room 4 and to add storage to the
northern wall of room 1, (PL38).
Room 5, now a closet, may be associated with part of an earlier structure, possibly an internal wall finish. Evidence
for this comes from the form of wooden panelling, possibly once daub covered, (PL48).
Room 1’s northern boundary wall once extended into room 8 however, before that it was a separate room in a
separate house.
The front elevation for house 12 is later than the rear which can deduced from the style of the added bay window
and the miss-matched sash windows. Although almost all evidence of early features have been removed due to 20th
century modernisation. The standing walls would seem to have been left the same and been built upon rather than
remodelled. Evidence further collaborated by the large boxed in hewn beam that runs from room 25a passageway,
through a modern wall, and ending in a possible cruck frame in the eastern wall of room 28, (PL138, PL146).
Between rooms 29 and 9 is a large recess that houses the remains of the original chimney stack that joins to the roof.
Room 31, once belonging to house 13, retains what may be an exposed internal medieval wall free of render or
paint, (PL154). A large possibly arched/domed doorway stands in the southern wall along with possible original
beams (PL156). To the west of the room a Victorian fire place has been added (PL154) The ceiling is exposed above
and clearly shows the original alignment of the room, (PL154).
21
Roons 33 and 34, marked in red are thought to be of a later date; extensions to house 10, in the 18th century, before
the edition of the Georgian front façade. Although room 33 has been decorated in keeping with other parts of the
property, the north and eastern walls sound hollow when rapt upon suggesting they are modifications.
The entrance foyer, room 34, into St James house, retains little of original structure. Constant changes with the front
façade, the ill fitted dog leg staircase and later editions reflecting styles of the time, provoke speculation as to its
provenance prior to the early 19th century.
The cellar, room 42 is accessed from the doorway under the staircase in room 34. Built under the 18th century
addition of room 34, it has suffered from recent modern modifications. There is little that can be assumed from it,
although the northern wall atop the stair still attains (though blocked up) its original dray shoot and steps for sliding
barrels into the below cellar.
There evidence of other cellars; one situated in the north of building 12 under corridor/room 9 bathrooms.
Uncovered during the excavations for the placement of maintenance pipes, a bricked-up recess was discovered
(PL161). Prompting an exploratory hole to ascertain its extent. After removal of some bricks, a debris filled in void
became apparent its extent and form remain to be investigated (PL162).
Building 11 has had its front elevation replaced as part of the façade of the main building. Its front room 8 possibly
retains an early 18th c coffer ceiling which was partially terminated during the erection of the façade of the main
building.
Further 19th century editions to the amalgamated house 10/11 come in the form of the “Doric” columned indentured
corniced wooden porch, (PL01).
All other walls, marked in dark blue, form the partition walls put in place in the 20th century to provide space and
storage for the boy’s school at the time.
First floor fig 11
The original external structure of property 11 follows much in the same way as it did on the ground floor, with the
internal walls being added to create smaller rooms for toilets and facilities. In its expansion and amalgamation with
house 12, passageways have been cut and 20th century staircases added for access.
Most notable of these is a small stair from room 11 to room 12 that could show the relative difference in heights of
the two properties at the time of amalgamation, (PL125).
The 1st floor configuration is very like the ground floor, rooms 22 and 23 above 33 & 34 with the 18th c front façade
built to them.
One change to the front façade, thought to have come in with the dog leg stair from ground to 1st floor however, is
the domed central window above the front pillared entrance, (PL61). It was common in the 19th century to add extra
light to landings and staircases of ornate design. The original box panelled shuttered window has been changed with
the addition of extra ornate dome and shaped cut above it in the ceiling space, (PL63).
There are a group of rooms to the north of building 10 with elaborate, 17th/18th c decorations not found elsewhere
including chamfered ceiling beams with grape vine decoration, (PL68) and other ceiling decorations such as fleur de
Lis and Tudor roses, (PL70). Rooms 20,21,15,18, and 19 have partitioned off, possibly at differing times but the
evidence is clear from the way that various beams and patterns continue past the partition walls; (PL67, PL70, PL81
& PL82).
Further evidence of the age of the rooms in building 10, are the splayed 17th/18th c mullioned windows in rooms 19
and 20. These two windows show the thickness of the north gable wall, (PL04). There is also a probable 17th/18th c
mullioned window in the east elevation of room 18 that looks out through stained glass windows above the original
western elevation of building 11, (PL83).
Building 12 follows much in the same vain as it did on the ground floor again with most, if not all its original
features replaced by modern partitions, fixtures and fittings. However, its original structural walls appear to remain
mostly unchanged.
22
2nd floor.
The 2nd floor comprises of a few rooms, toilets and corridors, reached through a modern fitted staircase continued
from room 23 below. The second floor opens out either side into rooms 35 & 37 now completely modernised within
the east/west ridge roof, (PL96 & PL 98). Room 35, 36 (staircase) and 38 are 18th century editions added the same
time as the rooms below before the edition of the front façade.
Room 37 which has undergone a lot of changes, appears to be part of the earlier house No 10, along with its
partitioned rooms to the north 39, 40; the latter with a stone framed window. It is the attic above however that has
the potential to relate the buildings’ development, retaining partial hewn and pegged timbers and phases of building,
(PL107).
The attic also exposes the original brick work used in the roof and a central bricked in chimney stack to its northern
gable.
Methodology
The building recording survey followed the methodology defined in 5.2, Understanding Historic Buildings; A Guide
to Good Recording Practice (Historic England 2016). The methodology employed was also guided by the Standard
and Guidance for the Archaeological Investigation and Recording of Standing Buildings or Structures (CIFA
2014,).
Photographs were taking using tripod mounted, digital cameras: 2 x Sony DSC F828, and a Canon EOS Rebel T4
these were backed up with hi- resolution smart phone cameras.
Images were recorded in both high resolution Jpeg & RAW formats.
The photographic record of the site includes general views of the exterior, the overall appearance of principle
structure and circulation areas, external and internal detail relevant to the property’s design and development.
All photographs include a scale rod where possible or practical.
Photographs illustrative of the survey are produced as annotated ‘photo cards’ in the report.
All photographs from the survey are included as a list with contact sheets in appendix I.
This report comprises a written element as defined in 4.5 Understanding Historic Buildings; A Guide to Good
Recording Practice (Historic England 2016).
