Introduction
Between the 18th and 22nd of December 2015, an ‘as found’ record was made of a derelict 19th century timber-framed outbuilding at No. 46 High Street, North Crawley, Buckinghamshire.
The report provides a descriptive and illustrative account of observations, including photographs and scale elevations and plans. It identifies the owners of the property in the 19th and 20th century (including some of its tenants/users) and how they have contributed to the development and changes made to its structure.
The timber-framed structure, a box-frame with rafter roof, appears to have been one of a pair of domestic sheds, which were probably purpose-built to serve a row of terraced cottages built in 1864 by a local carpenter / builder. The structure was already in existence by 1881.
The original structure, built of hand-hewn timber, also utilised timbers reclaimed from a medieval/postmedieval building. The structure has been extensively restored and repaired in either the late 19th century or first half of the 20th century. Four main phases of development or repair are identified.
