Abstract:		 Oxford Archaeology (OA) has undertaken a programme of historic building recording and investigation at Rofford Hall near Chalgrove in Oxfordshire. The building is a multi-phase structure in which the original building is a four-bay wide box-frame building of probable 17th-century date. Although this building is partially encased within later structures or obscured by secondary re-facings its timber frame remains at least partially intact. The primary timber-framed south front has been entirely replaced by a Georgian brick front and the original west wall has similarly largely been lost but the primary framing in the north and east walls substantially survives. Four of the five original trusses largely survive and are each slightly different versions of the same basic type. The trusses each retain evidence of former doorways within them showing that there was once an attic storey above the first floor. This is also confirmed by evidence of a former ceiling which extended up higher than the current (secondary) ceiling. The original house was extended in several phases, the main one of which was of probable late 18th- (or possibly early 19th-) century date. This taller structure extended the house to the west and enclosed the western end of the Phase I building. The Georgian extension would have made the house into quite a large farmhouse and several features suggest that it would have had some architectural pretension. Among these the clearest are the front door in the south elevation with cast-iron fanlight and the partially surviving staircase. The largest of the other extensions was of 20th century date.
