Abstract: |
In response to a condition on the planning consent for the remodelling and refurbishment of a Grade II listed outbuilding at Felsted Place, Felsted, Essex, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owners to undertake a historic building record prior to any works, and to conduct archaeological monitoring during the proposed alterations. Cartographic evidence has demonstrated that the outbuilding, which was dated to the 18th century or earlier, was not erected on the present site until the mid 19th century, suggesting that it may have been moved from elsewhere. Since its construction at Felsted Place it has undergone several phases of extension and alteration. The building recording has shown that it was in use as a granary until relatively recently, demonstrated by the presence of grain bins and surviving pencilled tallies by the bins. Archaeological inspection following ground reduction within the building revealed a series of yard surfaces, some of which may pre-date the building, and a single pit in the south-west corner, which also pre-dates the building. No dating evidence was recovered from the pit or the yard surfaces. A post-medieval well was encountered in the footings for a new extension to the north of the building. This has been left in situ. |
