Abstract: |
An English Heritage Level 2 Historic Building Survey was undertaken by ULAS of Chestnut Cottage, 10 Wood Lane, Braunston, Rutland, in advance of remodelling and extension works to the building. Chestnut Cottage is a stone built structure of three bays length and two storeys in height, believed to date to the 18th century. Survey revealed that the building has previously been subject to a fairly drastic scheme of redevelopment, including the removal of the original staircase, fireplaces and internal walls, to the extent that the original form of the building has been lost, although there are hints of an original cross passage layout. Early timbers surviving in the roof space include a series of clasped purlin roof trusses, which are commonly found in buildings of Lincolnshire up to the end of the 18th century and into the 19th century within Northamptonshire. An archaeological watching brief carried out during groundworks associated with the extension, revealed a stone-lined well located approximately 6m to the west of the building, but no further archaeological remains were found. |
