Abstract: |
South West Archaeology Ltd. carried out a programme of building recording and archaeological monitoring at Fishleigh House, Hatherleigh, Devon, in advance of the demolition of part of the extant house and the creation of an indoor swimming pool. Parts of a 20th century extension were demolished, together with the end of a wing shown on the Hatherleigh tithe map of 1839. On the first floor, this wing contained an unusual curving lath-and-plaster ceiling, an architectural feature usually restricted to public buildings. Archaeological recording following the demolition of this wing demonstrated that the ground floor was built in the second half of the 18th century and was probably non-domestic in character. This structure was later raised to two stories and incorporated into the domestic house, an event contemporary with the surviving early 19th century roof and curving plaster ceiling. |
