Abstract: |
Jacobs Arup was commissioned by Transport Scotland to carry out an archaeological watching brief during the demolition of and recovery of two medieval marriage pediments and associated filial from the archway within the grounds of St. Margaret's Hope (NGR: NT 12308 81105, HB number 6405). The archway is a Category B-Listed structure and although there is no record noting its construction a Building Survey (Jacobs Arup 2010b) has shown it to be a composite folly that may be contemporary with the extensive renovations and extensions conducted in 1916 by the renowned English Arts and Crafts Architect Ernest Newton. Within its recent history the archway has been demolished and subsequently re-erected, as is evidenced by the inappropriate use of modern materials i.e. concrete blocks and Portland cement. The recovery operation was a success and the marriage pediments and filial were deposited with the Huntley House Museum, Royal Mile, Edinburgh. |
